There was a time when basic literacy required a level of expertise that most people didn't have, the answer wasn't to start highly regulating those who do have the expertise, the answer was for people to learn.

That analogy does not work. The discussion is about regulating those who can exploit the lack of expertise. Whether or not you have expertise is orthogonal.

To stay with the example, in a world where few people can read but dealing with knowledge written in books is essential for many, it would make sense to regulate lecturers.
