Okay. Would you rather drive on a bridge that was just designed by amateurs in their basement or engineers that are licensed and professionally held responsible if it collapses?

Software engineering doesn't need a bunch of gatekeepers telling developers who can deploy code and who cannot or what technology they should be forced to use. Specific projects in specific domain already are already subject to laws and regulations, there is no need for gatekeeping that profession with a license.
Every time there is that sort of scandal in the news you come here pushing for that stupid idea. The "The Shock Doctrine
"...
I don't know. After reading through this thread there appears to be a lot of 'software engineers' that lack a lot of basic fundament understandings of Engineering as a professional discipline.

the plurality of opinions and solutions is what makes the wealth of the software industry, not people who think they are smarter than everybody else because of the tech they use and want to impose that tech on the rest of us.
The industry doesn't need a bunch of self-serving people who could decide who should write, deploy, release programs and who shouldn't.
