Software Engineering is closer to Computer Science than to actual Engineering. It does involve some engineering problems and solutions, but overall, it mostly is programming. Even if you check university courses, the CS and SE content are pretty much the same with little differences between them.

So? Does it make it simple somehow?

Complicated =/= engineering

It is still a difficult and (I'd argue) equally respectable job tho

Most software development is making things that are either useless or outright harmful to society, and it's not nearly as high skilled or intelligent work as people make it out to be. It is not a respectable job, despite what techbros would like you to believe.

t. Software """engineer"""
