It's essentially the same in the US.

If there is a large risk when work is low quality, there is regulation. The more possible danger, the more regulation. This is OK.

But an argument for regulation that is just some hand waving and repeating "standards" is not a legitimate position. It is an attempt to build some little bureaucratic empire which will enrich a group via regulatory capture.

The government wins as they now have more employees and more power and the people already in the trade win. Everyone else loses.
