Why do science positions and engineering licenses still require specific degrees when they could have very difficult certification testing alone? Do they hate talent

Because tests are actually a terrible way to evaluate people.
Most books weren't written for self-learners. Any experimental side requires a lot of secondary knowledge that people would simply skip.
For example you can't have a test related to writing a real paper/experiment discussion. But writing something is actually easy, the hard part is writing something actually useful, for starters you need the (at least someone invested) opinion of someone with academic formation.

Self learning is possible, and for some fields like Programming, if the student is serious enough then it's perfectly viable and you don't need a certificate to work. The problem is you can't rely on those outliers to run a country

this is the trvthnvke that kills autodidacts

you can spend a decade "self learning" and never pick up the basic shit that requires a few hundred hours of tedious grunt work. even a retard who went through engineering school will be a better engineer than some random high IQ "self taught" faggot who can't read or produce documentation properly, or something
