Cars are similarly locked down, as are many (most?) consumer electronics devices. Buildings have an even more complex system of restrictions placed on them, called fire/building/electrical codes, albeit the enforcement is more nuanced. If you want to advocate for a more open system of published regulations and a licensing/insurance system for professionals that's fine, but don't try to pretend that other facets of life aren't equally regulated.
