Uninformed theory: a combo of (a) software engineers are generally satisfied w/ their working conditions & salaries to the extent that they don't organize much & (b) software companies are powerful enough to prevent regulation & still careful to maintain (a) bc talent is so vital
Performance for a SE seems way easier to measure than most professions, though.
