I don't want this, but I do get what you're saying. What I really want is software engineers in our industry to stop behaving like such idiot losers who are begging to be jobless and give everything away for free.

Doctors protect doctor's interests. Lawyers aren't idiots, they're professionals who run businesses with the express intent to make money.

Software engineers seem to be just bright enough to make money, and just stupid enough to say, no no, please I'd prefer to be homeless, please take my job and automate me, offshore me, and devalue my salary out of existence all at once.

And this is generally a bad thing, to be clear. It often comes in the form of rent seeking which should be fought tooth and nail by the rest of society.
