I do agree partially but I also get wanting "engineer" to be a protected term. I think software design is probably one more valid uses of the term but I think applying it to everything ain't it (I.e. sanitation engineer).

Tbh I'm happy enough just having a Software Developer title

I mean it’s fine, but development is only one part of engineering, which is why I don’t like the term.
