I used “Software Engineer” as a job title on LinkedIn to match the title of what the company gave me and letters were sent to every dev in my company from a professional engineering organization to stop using it. So I guess this is true, since Engineer is a regulated term, though

This is true in some countries. The word "engineer" is like "medical doctor" and saying you are one requires certification/credentials.
