SWE roles and you are taking webdev as examples? What are the solid engineering fundementals of legions of people doing CRUD development in React and Vue for example? All of your arguments can be turned around if we replace data engineering with webdev.

I switched from a fullstack role to data engineering because I wanted to dig deeper into how to process streams (as an example) and build something that other engineers, and through the use of dashboards rest of the company, rely upon and in that way 10x myself. But also because I wanted to see if I can create the need for a machine learning engineer role at my company since that is what I would like to try out next.
