ultralights can already be piloted without a license or registration. Its an amazing degree of freedom that most don't realize they have.

Ultralights have very strict restrictions and rules where they can be operated, to limit the risk to others.

14 CFR 103.15: "No person may operate an ultralight vehicle over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons."

Also, you don’t need a license, but trying to fly without sufficient and proper training is likely to get you killed. These aren’t bicycles.
