I'm getting work experience to become a licensed software engineer, which is possible in my jurisdiction (Ontario). Rarely does anybody care. I heard it's useful for safety-critical stuff but have never met anyone who has made use

It's the politics of the paid membership of the Codeberg non-profit that funds the whole operation. They vote in yearly meetings.
