COTS: Commodity, off-the-shelf (parts).
Engineers know what that means because they build things. Scientists don't learn that until they start working for a company, unless they are involved in manufacturing (I'll guess).
Because engineers have not distinguished themselves from everyone else they (we?) have become a commodity.
Companies hire them (us?) and don't feel comfortable telling them (us?) everything we need to know to do our jobs.
When engineers started jumping between companies in Silicon Valley, they lost the trust of the companies for which they work.
Most of what you see above, I learned from teachers.

p.s. The "politics" is built-in. Read the above again.
