An operations engineer and a sysadmin are two entirely different roles.
A system administrator administers systems while an operations engineer dedicated their time writing code to automate processes.

Sysadmins automate their work. Operations Engineer is just another title for sysadmin.
Systems Engineer is also another title for the same thing.
Platform Engineering (depending on where you are) is yet another variation.
If you're responsible for the operating system, monitoring, clustering, hardware etc; then you're firmly in "sysadmin" land.
Pedantry is requisite.
So do janitors. What's your point?

It really isn't. That makes as much sense as claiming that DevOps is just a sysadmin that's also a developer.
Many "operations engineers" are actually sysadmins. Many "devops" are really sysadmins also doing development.
