One thing I think you aren't aware of. If one of these folks, licensed or not ends up having an accident and injuring someone, the the sh.... will hit the fan. Eventually those living outside of the rules will most likely get the attention of the FAA and pay the price for their actions.
We all probably look at life differently, I got taught a lesson in high school playing football. I didn't like playing by the rules, so the coach sat me down and told me "either play by the rules or get out of the game, and you will find in the real world life is pretty much the same." He was right, and I learned to try playing by the rules.
