I'm wary of centralizing the powers of the web like that.

Web is already mostly centralized, and corporations which should be scrutinized in way they handle security, PII and overall software issues are without oversight.

It is also a matter of respect towards professionals. If civil engineer says that something is illegal/dangerous/unfeasible their word is taken into the account and not dismissed - unlike in, broadly speaking, IT.

		I just don't feel we want the overhead on software. I'm in an industry with PEs and I have beef with the way it works for physical things. PII isn't nearly as big a deal as a life tbh. I'd rather not gatekeep PII handling behind degrees. I want more accoubtability, but PEs for software seems like it's ill-suited for the problem. Principally, software is ever evolving and distributed. A building or bridge is mostly done. A PR is not evaluated in a vacuum
