"Possibly younger people don't understand what system administrators used to do..."

System Administrators used to blame developers. Developers used to blame System Administrators. Devops is in part an attempt to mediate between "silos".

Therefore we need a new title to distinguish "Real System Administrators" from server technicians. So, we get "devops" for people who understand both.

You get people who aren't very good in every kind of role in every kind of organization. Sturgeon's Law applies to everything, even people. If you have more than 10% of your team doing really well you're ahead of the game.
