In a utopia where all engineers have the career progression of a labourer that could work.

Companies pay extra for background and expertise. The title shows how much responsibility an engineer carries under his/her registration. If there are any project blunders, the senior engineer's license is on the line and other legal implications lower level engineers don't have to worry about.

Have you worked in a tech company where the engineer's have some sort of licensure? I haven't experienced that. I'm not doubting you just curious.
