The distinction between a program, project, and product managers seems to be mostly dependent on the company you work at.

All the various "PMs" at companies I've worked for have done largely the same jobs that are some mix of managing the project and figuring out new features for the product.

The difference between ongoing operations, a project, a program, and a portfolio are clearly delineated in the Project Management Book of Knowledge, which is usually foundational knowledge for a project manager. If a person tries to practice project management without knowing this stuff, I’d agree with your use of scare quotes.
