Rather than spending their energy protecting their territory and titles, what if architects and their associations focused on resolving our nation’s housing crisis, improving our schools, or generally creating more inspiring environments for people to live their best lives? — good.is

After reading through the article again, I still fail to see how not having the title of capital 'A' Architect is preventing anyone with good ideas and designs from tackling the nation's housing crisis, improving schools, or creating inspiring environments.
In fact, I don't know that the author understands it either,
"Shaun Donovan, the U.S. Secretary of Housing & Urban Development, who earned his architecture degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, isn’t an architect, nor TED Prize winner and showman Cameron Sinclair of Architecture for Humanity. Architecture school deans, firm owners, and countless others aren’t “real” architects either. These people are doing amazing, world-changing work, exactly what we want and need more architects to be doing."
