As someone who is licensed in a different field, awful idea.
Each state tends to have their own (often quite different) license requirements. They tend to be expensive to get and need to be renewed frequently (more $$$).
There are usually other hoops you have to jump through to get both license and relicensed.
I would never wish licensure on my own profession.

I agree on the downsides, but I believe licensing is a good forcing function to get others to 1) gain knowledge and 2) standardize training for a base level of competence.
