Medical professions are physically constrained, easier to lobby and limit supply.

Software development is not as physically constrained, any moves to restrict supply will automatically lead to offshoring similar to manufacturing.

Licensing does not limit offshoring. Accounting is the best example of this. There are many licensed CFAs in India and Philippines doing outsourced accounting work.
