You definitely described it perfectly: total chaos.
Titles are just “how valuable you are to that team”.
Every team has different needs, so a senior engineer in one team might be a junior on another team that has a totally different set of needs. There is also no standardized titles, so it mostly is just “whatever they want to call it”.

This fits my experience. Wasn’t sure if I was hallucinating or living in a bubble. Had the misfortune of working with a very, let’s say confident, junior who convinced the recruiter they were senior. It did teach me to be a bit more confident in selling myself.
