Well and to prevent e.g. bridges from collapsing.

Professionalization is part of it, but not the whole part. The main part was to manage the number of members. Also, this professionalization greatly decreases the propensity for bridges collapsing due to negligence/malpractice but does not completely prevent it. [miami pedestrian bridge, galloping gurtie, KC hyatt walkway, genoa viaduto].
Not sure if intentional but this joke was really good.
