Seems like every job title is heavily diluted. You have to look at (job title, company) as a tuple. I've known Senior Principal Engineers in companies I've worked for who would not be able to make it past L4 at google.

The bar for the same title is set differently depending on the company size / scale their products operate at.

It's generally awarded on your level of skill and responsibilities relative to your peers in the company, and not the industry per se.

Anecdotally: smaller the company higher are the titles.
