Ah, I was wrong. I just checked and it appears that engineer isn’t protected per default (as you stated).
I was thinking about “Civilingeniør” (literal translation would be “civil engineer”, but that is no faithful translation), which everyone who graduates a MSc. in engineering in Denmark receives, and which is at least protected locally.
No worries. We have a similar situation here in nl where “ingenieur” is a protected title, but professional bodies have shown zero interest in policing all the “engineers”.
Protected where and by whom? Most software engineers aren’t PEs.

Thank you for calling me out.
