I can guarantee that every engineer that worked on that thing hated it and thought it was fucking stupid.

As a software engineer who was also a civil engineer-in-training before switching careers, I think one of the big overlooked benefits of being licensed is that it would give engineers leverage to push back on unethical demands by management.

Management can always just fire the engineering team and hire one overseas. It's not like it's even that difficult to do.

I don't think you understand what being licensed means. It means the state requires that people doing that job hold a license. Offshoring would become illegal.
