The fact is - it is the law in the United States, and the FCC
enforces it.

I was simply interested in why that is the case for one sort of
licence that is granted as a privilege and not for another (i.e.
driving licence) which is also not an inalienable right.


The law does not need logic!

I would argue that logic is exactly what the law needs, as in "Why is
that illegal?" with a reasoned answer that demonstrates harm if it
exists and a clear benefit from preventing whatever it is.


We NEVER expect anything logical out of Congress! Or any of the state
legislatures, for that matter.


But the two are entirely different situations; the only commonality is
that both are privileges.


Yes, but don't you think that some sort of moral equivalence should
apply to those privileges?


Moral equivalence has nothing to do with it. The two are completely
unrelated (other than both are privileges).
