I hired into my current gig as a senior product manager and our entire group was flipped into the title of senior product owner. A little bit restructuring, a little bit politics.
Personally, I look at my role now that we have other folks focusing on strategy in the PM role to be a bit of the Batman/Robin setup.
I don't get my name as the lead in our comic book here but at this stage of my career I'd much rather prop up those around me and celebrate wins together than worry about what title I put on my LinkedIn.
Since the Scrum Master role is clearly shrinking, this seems like the best way to pivot. I guess I have lived through a lot of derision, maybe I could weather being a Product Owner too.

Finally a product person says it! To a large part, this is what an Agile practitioner would say as well. It only seems few people listen to it.
