This. I've had someone in my team that was completely self-taught with no relevant education that was a great dev.
I've also interviewed someone that supposedly had a master degree and a couple of certificates and couldn't remember how to create a loop during the interview.
I don't know how you could properly implement "standardization of qualification and competencies" without just min-maxing it in a way that favors academics
good question. Software and computer practices are changing much faster than other fields but with time, pillars are being better and better defined. Production quality code, CI/CD, DevOps, etc..
Civil engieers have a successful licensure process established. See my comment regarding that.
But an approach where a candidate would spend time under a "licensed professional software eng" would favor practical work experience over academic.
