Except dietician is a protected job title that is licensed by legally-recognized professional standards bodies.
Software "engineers" in North America don't have any actual professional board that licenses or oversees their work. Until governments actually regulate the profession through these bodies, no one can gatekeep software development job titles.
A bunch of blog posts talking about "industry standards" is not a reference point for this.
