Law and finance are regulated industries, it's not gatekeeping.

Absolutely not. Some coding jobs are regulated too like medical devices, defense, or finance. It's the law because you have specific responsibilities that can have a lot of bad consequences. Feel free to do something else if you don't want to respect that. I don't want to have dead people around me because you have a grudge against lawyers whatever they did to you.
