The difference in titles is more or less where most of the time is spent. Developer could be doing front-end, back-end, embedded, high-performance computing, system, game, data analysis, or any other niche work. All of those have different design, tooling, and ways of thinking that you gain through actually doing.

I been in interviews where after reading my resume they say oh your an embedded developer. Another said a front-end, no a back-end, no a system developer, and other desktop developer. Reality, I did all of those to get the job done and create a viable product.
