Some of the best advice I've ever gotten from an ex GM VP was, "don't chase titles, chase salary". Who cares what the title is as long as the pay is good. If you're suggesting that the pay is unsatisfactory, then that is another thing.
I wouldn't worry too much about titles. It's more about the job description and what you'll actually be doing, not what they'll be calling you. It's so hard to standardize titles across industries and companies.
I think you're right that this is an attempt to lowball experienced candidates. They're removing titles like "senior" because they know that that kind of name warrants better pay and a greater voice on the team and they dont' want to give anyone that if they can avoid it.

I’ve been noticing this a lot as well. It’s making it harder for me to find a new job because I don’t have 10yrs of experience yet. I’m right around 4 yrs now.
