I've had the title on and off since 2018, I assume we are pretending with DevOps that pure operations / ops management doesn't exist 0:-)
More charitably though, I think they are not focusing on operations despite it being one of the categories - I don't see incident coordinator / manager, problem manager, etc either.
As a pure sysadmin / server admin for the past 21 years, I can't see myself pivoting into DevOps if the job market required that. Yes, we do manage container infra also, but it's not "DevOps" or "SRE".
Maybe the future is all about AI agent harness runtime environment orchestration or some other uninteresting tech.
