If you follow that logic then a lot of people on this site are just pretenders. I don’t think it’s helpful to discuss the meaning of “engineer” in this context.

I am not sure about that, I want my doctor to be a licensed m.d. in all contexts.

Same with the firefighters, I don't want a firefighter to be considered as such only on some "contexts".

In the US there are no software engineer certifications. So everybody with that title is a fake engineer and companies should not hand out that title.
