So, basically no non-certified programmers because Apple, etc. will just not give you a developer certificate because of a possible lawsuit.

  Apple isn't in the business of providing critical software where such liability would make much sense beyond when: (1) their phones given enough charge refuse to call 9/11 as mandated by law at the present anyway (2) their authentication details are leaked (3) their operating systems suffer security bugs At most other levels the damage could easily be contained. Note that even at present they could be sued for any and all of the above, whether such a lawsuit is winnable is beyond my expertise to evaluate but it would certainly be interesting to see the arguments both sides put forth. So plenty of opportunity to be employed for 'non certified programmers'. Note that almost every big software provider already has a certification program of sorts but at the moment these are just used as either a revenue stream or a way to get people to invest in the eco system.
