Do all those businesses have a problem with unethical behaviour causing serious problems in society?
Doctors, bankers and apparently software engineers have a pretty big impact on society, and often in ways that aren't very transparent to most other people. It's quite possible there are other professions that have a similar impact, but I'm pretty sure it's not all.
I think registered accountants also have some sort of oath, again because various stakeholders including society as a whole has to be able to trust them.
