It would also be nice if those who oppose licensing suggested credible alternatives.
As your anecdote suggested, licenses are typically implemented for a reason. Quite often those reasons deal with people who are taking advantage of a situation, with little regard to the interests of others or even the legality of their actions. I will admit that licenses can be problematic, but I honestly cannot think of a good alternative so I support licensing as the best option we have available at present.

Businesses existed before them and continue to exist without them. Can there be a quality problem? Sure, but consumer protection laws will apply regardless of licenses.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoDon't have mandatory licenses. Voluntary licensing schemes seem to work well for the professions that have them. "Screw you I'm just not getting a license my work stands on it's own without your overpriced seal of approval" provides a nice backstop to rent seeking and other bad behavior by the licensing authority.
