Not gatekeeping. That would be preventing folks from coding by law. A ridiculous idea.
More like, enforcing certain standards. ie "When you hire from X, you can assume they know Y and are proficient with Z". It already happens with recruiting. When I see resumes from X I know what to expect.
If someone decides to engage in a race to the bottom and hires "engineers" from something other than X then, good luck. Maybe you found a diamond in the rough, but likely not. In that case don't whine that it's impossible to get nice software.
