I don't have an undergraduate degree in CS or engineering and was accepted with about 5 years of software development experience.
If you're saying that you think people should be able to attend a graduate degree program without an undergraduate degree, then that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me. There is a long established precedent that (formal, possibly legal requirements, too?) you must have an undergraduate degree to take the next step in your education.
You either want the formal education or don't -- if you do, then you have to meet the pretty standard requirements.
