My own opinion is that most agencies insist that pilots of public
aircraft be licensed and follow the FARs simply because they don't want the
adverse publicity and resulting Congressional investigations and/or law
suits should there be an incident, especially if fatalities are involved.

Sometimes they follow the FARs simply to avoid duplication of effort.
Why bother coming up with a regulation if you can just use the FAA's?
