I tend to find myself thinking about the self policing coming from the fact that the radio spectrum is one dimension. We all have to share that space, it's not super plentiful. Plus, ham radio is the one license that doesn't require the hardware itself to be licensed, just the person using it. It's what lets us build our own little radio transmitters in our own band without needing to get it approved first by the fcc.
