Very true, I should have been more specific when I say "created". Popularised is probably a better term.
I worked with some old and crusty Perl and C hackers that called themselves sysadmins that definitely would have qualified as "SRE"s during the 90s, it's just they were taken for granted.
All the term SRE has done is create a role that is more appreciated and better compensated with a better understood set of responsibilities and required skills.
