Yikes. I see it the opposite way. My title has evolved from UX Designer to Product Designer. A lot of organizations have started to understand the value of design and are now giving us the power to think through everything, rather than just the optimization of a web form.

Technology is evolving and expanding so quickly that there's exponential need for good design. I'm happy to hear you're getting out of UX though. I wouldn't want to go to a doctor who blatantly calls the whole medical industry a sham.
