This may be a hot take, but a senior title should recognize someone who consistently applies broad experience, sound judgment, and nuanced perspective across a wide range of situations... not just someone who possesses a rare or in-demand technical skill at the time.

Specific technical expertise is valuable and should be compensated accordingly, but that isn’t the same thing as seniority. Judgment and specialization don't always correlate. Many companies get that wrong in their hiring/promotions, and many individuals get that wrong in planning their career development.
