I don't think the name change really originated with Sysadmins. Basically these new titles were created (with narrow definitions) and then other companies said "We are cool like Google, we have SREs now, no Sysadmins" so all the jobs had new titles.

Source: Me and my last 4 jobs ( Sysadmin -> Devops Engineer -> Infrastructure Developer -> SRE ) which are all basically the same thing
