Depending where you are, you absolutely do need a license. In Germany e.g. you need the A-license for flights where the landing spot location is the same as the starting point, and the B-license for cross-country. Rightfully so. Shit‘s dangerous, not only for you, but for others.

Have you seen the shit they have to deal with to get qualified?
Imagine you got your driver’s licence only yo then have to get a sub license to drive a Holden Astra, but your partner to has a sub license for a Holden Commodore. You can’t drive each others car.
That is what pilots are like in some spots. Just because you can fly a Boeing 777 doesn’t mean you can also fly a 787 or 747

Well, sea captains have similar roles… just bigger, slower, and lower…

Vehicle drivers giving me lung cancer while enjoying a road my tax money paid for (instead of other useful infrastructure such as railways) is unfair.

They get their own lanes too. Why can’t they just share and wait in traffic like everyone else
