Titles are what “salary comparisons” go by when HR “compares” compensation between employees and “competition.”

What else would they be able to use?

I was promoted to senior software engineer three times in my early career. They just tossed out the title as a freebee more-or-less, and the hiring companies told me I was too young/inexperienced for it.

There seems to be an understanding that happens, which means they ignore it.
