What you call Wizarding I call "ordinary Software Development". A software developer spends ~70% of their time writing features and the rest mixed between organization/planning/roadmapping etc. A software engineer spends ~30% of their time writing features and the rest of it managing technical debt and making long-term investments towards better features and processes.

Too many companies need devs but have engineers, or they need engineers but only have devs :/

I’ve never known anyone to distinguish between the two roles, and they seem to be used interchangeably in the industry.

(Except those people who claim software engineers aren’t real engineers)
