In my opinion their reasoning is no different than ours (providers) is when we say we wont do X simply based on the liability. If there is a risk for us, we usually decline. I dont really see it as any different.

My landlord will not do it even though we have rented this house for over ten years, and there is no way I am paying for an improvement to a property I don't own, and that is IF the landlord would allow it. To say I am a bad provider due to that is hogwash and offends me greatly. If I do get licensed, I will NOT pay premiums to a company that has that attitude.
Um, okay.. I am not sure why DCI's post/statements caused such anger for you but I didn't read anywhere that he said said legally unlicensed providers are bad providers.
He said its a risk to them as insurance providers.
I think thats a true statement not a bad attitude or personal dig at anyone.
He also encouraged providers to use their voice to help change it.
