I don't follow - you'll have to hold my hand through your argument. You said the airwaves are a "shared service license" to the carriers, and so the carriers "have certification requirements".
If by that you mean the carrier has to be certified by the government for access to the airwaves, then that's just "the law" with extra steps. Nobody has cited a law or regulation that would demand carriers block any device that an end-user can modify to enable VoLTE.
If you mean that the carriers require certain certifications for the devices on their network, and these certifications have no basis in law (i.e. they are permitted to allow VoLTE-capable devices on their network, they just choose not to), then this is just mega-corporations colluding to sabotage consumers.
No one is “colluding” certification means that your phone has to support all of the necessary industry standards. The phone manufacturers certify their phones meet those standards. There is nothing to be gained monetarily by keeping phones off their network.
Just like with any device on any network an out of spec device can cause issues.
