That‘s all true, but quite boring, isn‘t it?

Because the reverse also hold: if we remove the need for driver‘s licenses for cars, more people will be able to drive.

The fallacy is IMO that many people always consider the status quo ante as the perfect balance. Because we have gotten used to driver‘s licenses.

So the argument that new regulation stifles some non-harmful behaviour is a truism, but doesn‘t really contribute anything, unless it comes with numbers.
