I think you might be missing the forest for the trees a bit. Many industries have a very wide range of certifications and there's no reason IT couldn't be the same. For example, think doctors: some are certified for surgery, some are certified to give physiotherapy, some are certified to refer you to other doctors etc. I don't think cost is a reasonable argument either — you wouldn't want a plumber with no knowledge of their profession just because they're cheaper. There's (usually) no life-threatening danger involved, but you can end up with very large expenses if something goes wrong.

There’s more diversity in roles and risks in IT than there is in medicine. But even still there are still jobs related to health that don’t require qualifications and certification - e.g. massage and fitness training. Plumbing certainly involves physical safety and health; poor plumbing work can damage the building leading to collapse, or cause a fire/explosion, water contamination or electrical faults leading to injuries or fatalities.
