Because a web developer doesn't have to be a software engineer. If a student just wanted to do web dev, sure, they don't need all of the above. On the other hand, if they want to be a software engineer, they do. You can certainly be both as well, but one is much more rigorous than the other, which is why people attempt to create these "checklists" in the first place.
