I don't see the problem. Unless you're saying that there are people in critical i.e. life or death roles who are under-qualified because they were hired based on what the called themselves. That would be a concern.

But in general, nah. I mean, the percentage of people in software who call themselves an engineers who are actually performing an engineering function is pretty small but doesn't seem to have ended the world (yet).

And tbh, if an organisation is making hiring decisions based on what someone called themselves on their resume in an unregulated field, then I'd argue that the problem is with the hirer not the hiree.
