> So why would we talk as though our specific roles were ‘special’?

Because you’re selling yourself. Interviews are sales. You are the product. Not your team, not your boss, not your company. You.

If you can’t answer that question then this project shouldn’t be on your resume and you shouldn’t bring it up in interviews.
