Doing unlicensed plumbing or electrical work is a crime where I live. Not that a law necessarily stops everyone (that problem already exists today), but I genuinely have a hard time seeing how companies get states to relax these kinds of laws because they exist for good reason. It doesn't surprise me to see companies try to make inroads here, but it's an uphill battle I think.
When I was a kid, a landlord in my community decided to "fix" a broken heating unit at one of his properties himself to save money, and wound up killing all of his tenants due to CO poisoning. Those are the kinds of situations that we are risking by enabling DIY contract work.
