On the contrary, I think software/technology is a field where objective assessment of candidate's competency is relatively easy, and the professions requiring accreditation/licensing are relatively rare.

Do you think requiring those credentials would benefit software industry as well? Is that enough for top companies to base their hiring decisions on?

I am thinking that is every professional career other than software. Truck drivers without any education are substantially more regulated than a software developer writing life saving applications in an MRI machine.
