Personally I think the egister is far less of an issue than other aspects of the law change, such as range rules, access to semi autos, etc. But given how few farmers, foresters, orchardists etc have applied for P licenses for pest control maybe we are collectively our own worst enemies. It will be hard to mount an argument of the need for semi autos for pest control as the legal access has been available since January 2020 but comparatively there have been very few applications.
