> plumbers, electricians, civil engineers, architects, structural engineers, etc. All these occupations have licensing requirements. Why is software different?

There are plenty of journeyman carpenters that do not have a license, this is not a problem as long as they work for a company that is licensed.

You're making an argument in favor of software engineering licensing, just not that every individual involved needs to be licensed.
