It sort of exists. P.E. Software engineering like most of the other engineering branches use. Signing off on designs that require regulatory approval often requires a PE. In my first job in mechanical design etc. it was understood that I would get this as soon as I could.

However my understanding is that almost no one gets this in software and it’s being discontinued.

In what country? I have heard that this is required in Canada, but I've never heard of it in the US.

US. It's so uncommon though (in software engineering specifically) that they're apparently dropping it.
