Maybe so: but professionalization hasn't stopped American medicine from growing enormously, or advancing technically. Why should it be different for software? And it seems obvious that the economic and status benefits to the professionals, the doctors, have been great. I would argue that it has hindered the growth of medical technology. People with M.D. get much more money for doing medical research than all other disciplines doing medical research, and the training/education of M.D. has much less emphasis on research compared with PhD's. I would argue that M.D. are not the best people to be doing medical research in a lot of areas.
