This always struck me as the dagger into the idea of freedom. How can one follow the law if one is not fully informed of the law?

Of course, those with money like it this way. It's a barrier for competition and exercising your rights.

Once you start looking at barriers, such as ISO, you start noticing them everywhere. Real estate, dentistry, doctors, school teachers. You can't even cross state lines as a school teacher, or other professions. People often argue that software developers should be licensed much like engineers. Let's be thankful that's not the case. Imagine the headache of being remote and having to get licensed in multiple states!
