It's different. In ML the model, the analysis, and the insights, are the product. In general software engineering, your compiler is not your product.

Don't think so. The data and how it's represented is the code. ML is the compiler.
This is overly pedantic. The code is doing machine learning. In order to write and understand the code you have to understand the machine learning algorithms. Before you even choose a model and tune the parameters you have to know how the parameters interact and how different models work.
