Other fields have organizations which artificially keep their supply low in the form of licenses, certificates, degrees, etc. Not only does that keep their salaries high, it ensures a certain calibre of junior applicants. But in the software world, we scoff at the idea of any regulation as gatekeeping. Tech companies say everyone should learn to code. Bootcamps are happy to sell the dream. No regulation. No standard. Open to everyone. They've succeeded in increasing the supply but have diluted the quality to the point where being a junior developer today doesn't mean anything. Reap what you sow.
