I wouldn't say that it has anything to do with the competence or skill expected of a professional.
It's more a matter of decorum.
Edit: I recognize that there are those who would like to load more connotations onto the term, but I think that even the above definition is just a bunch of marketing fluff promulgated by those who stand to benefit from people believing that they'll get a better result from paying someone to do something rather than doing it themselves.
