Certification do exist for engineers, and various industries and governments impose their own certification programs on platforms and software before they’re authorised for use.

Each with varying degrees of trust. The outcome is never perfect, but that’s not their purpose.

Credentialism is not a solution, it will just get gamed too. Indian diploma mills and mega IT consultancies pump out thousands of "qualified" engineers every year.

Every hiring manager worth their salt has caught at least one completely incompetent applicant with a CV full of certifications.

Maybe certifications are different? A certified Electron engineer might just read the tutorial how to spend zero effort on apps.
