I guess it just seems odd how taxis have existed safely in the other 99.9999% of the world without such a requirement. At some point it's more about protectionism than safety. This is yet another example.

It's only protectionism if the existing taxi companies didn't have to do it. In fact, if Uber doesn't, but the taxi companies do, that's also protectionism, but for Uber.
