I don't understand all the hand-wringing here.
I don't understand all the hand-wringing here. This always happens eventually in every industry under the sun and is going to keep happening. Why? Because if you as an employer or manager don't inflate titles, you're eventually going to lose people. Sure, maybe the "right thing to do" is to resist title inflation, but when your good engineers with 5 or 10 years experience see people at other companies getting a Senior title with half the experience, they're going to want a similar title. Are you as an individual manager or company really going to die on that hill and lose good engineers just because it's "better for the industry", when you can keep them at no additional cost just by changing a few words in the HR system? This may an annoying problem, but it's a pretty small one as far as problems go.
