I think that's intentional. Companies want to pay you as little as possible and get the most value out of you as possible. One way to do that is to call it a 'junior' level job.

Also it's kind of a developers job to create an order of magnitude value for a company. That's why automation technology is so valuable. You build something once and then you can sell it infinite times.

Well, isn't it the basis of an employee-employer relationship most of the time?

I wanna work fewer hours for a lot of money. You want me to work more hours for less money. 😄
