I think people just like to be called engineers because they think it entitles them somehow.

Next thing we'll see front-end doctors?

That is actually kind of happening. People are becoming their own front-end doctors by Googling their medical problems. In fact, this is how I've handled health issues myself. I haven't been to the doctor basically since high school (just optometrist). I assume this is similar to the way a lot of people become "software engineers".
Interestingly, "front end doctor" is a real term (referring to people who work with cars.)
