Architecture is about designing buildings that not only serve their function, but are beautiful to look at. I think that's exactly why some people like "software architect." But, to me, "software architect" evokes grandiose, ornate software design, which serves no purpose, because no one sees it. Users see the software's UI, and the UI ought to be beautiful, but trying to make the internal design beautiful is not only unnecessary, it's counterproductive, because it gets in the way.
