I dont disagree. However I do think the 21 century is partially about the breakdown of certifications and professional organizations and a shift to purely merit.
There are people in FAANG the dont even have any post secondary making > 500k a year as "Software Engineers". How this works without total chaos is that each company has a rigorous testing procedure for candidates.
This cataclysm has yet to reach the field of medicine or law but it is sorely needed. (I say this with family in both).
I understand the difficulty and that the term "engineer" probably should never have been used as a substitute for "skilled knowledge worker" but I would expect this kind of deracination to continue till the economic calcification is no more.

That's what I expect from a credible credentialing organization, to be able to tell me that person X meets a minimum bar. Right now they get a bad press because, especially in the medical field, it's more about gate keeping and lobbying than actually enforcing standards and protecting the public.
I would argue that surely someone making that type of money at a world class organization like Google would have no problem passing any engineering exam.
