"...those who possess the "required" licensure are magically unable to do any wrong -- even when the safety issues are obvious."
Not my experience. Over both the house and addition inspections we have had several checkoffs refused by the inspectors for various reasons or in some cases issues are noted in writing for fixes and later inspections. Never ever got the sense that the licensed people were "unable to do any wrong" in the eyes of the inspectors. Is the "blatantly unsafe wiring/plumbing" perhaps grandfathered work from an older age of no inspections required?
