Contact cement in a bottle used to be sold in stationery stores as

Rubber cement is a different animal to contact cement. It's primary
use is paste ups in the original meaning of cut and paste where you
want to be able to peel the artwork and cement off. Contact cement
is for keeps.
What's the definition of contact cement? Isn't it what will stick to
itself after drying on two surfaces? Naturally, they aren't all the
same.

The point is that they are two totally different types of adhesive - as
bowman said . While rubber cement can be used in a permanent bond
(leatherwork comes to mind) contact cement is always permanent .
