I think that politicians will decide.  And politicians care little about pianos.
They will do whatever they believe will get them re-elected.

They'll pass "reasonable" laws which force some techs out of the business, and
make the remaining techs' work cost people more.  Our service will be
unreachable for poor people (to a poor person, a poor tech is better than no
tech).  And when the politicians get done jacking us around, they'll have a
legal precedent to jack others around.  What goes around comes around.

Of course, piano owners should take personal responsibility to check out their
technician.  If they don't, then they have only themselves to blame.

Government is a sham.  Notice that they didn't pass laws about meat safety until
the refrigerator came about.  Politicians take credit for improvements in public
health, but if meat is safer today, you can thank Mr. Tesla who invented
electricity, and the hundreds of inventors who followed with electric motors,
refrigeration systems, insulation, etc.  Government has done nothing significant
compared to these achievements.  But they give people a false sense of security.
Don't forget that people STILL die from bad meat.
