Software Engineers design software while programmers code software.

Building business applications start with a lot of initial documentation covering gathering requirements, prioritising needs, designing, testing, change managment, confguration, costing etc.

Programmers in a business environment can't run off and start coding applications. They have to be guided by scoping documents in order to make products that are fit for purpose.

Of course yo will usually find people with hybrid skills but this is the simplest way to make sense of the confusion.
