Software has a deliverable that can be tested prior to delivery. And there are domains where software has to be developed within a QMS, those domains have quietly built elaborate process and systems dedicated to quality of their software.
Using licensing to ensure quality results is an easier sell in scenarios where such a system can't exist, like when the practitioner doesn't get (m)any retries.
Are we worried something is falling through the cracks of the quality system approach? Are there properties of a deliverable that those systems can't ensure?
Some product domains are so inconsequential to life that it would be a laughable non-starter to write bars for their quality into law. Is a blanket licensing requirement a way to get at practitioners operating in those fields anyway? Because the individuals will be more of a pushover and easier to wage a public campaign against than the company they hypothetically work for?
