Since anyone can become a black cab driver if they want to learn the
knowledge I really don't see the problem.

I'd be a bit disappointed if convicted sex offenders could.

They can't.
At least, not in London.
Maybe - just - if the conviction was 40 years ago.

So not "anyone" then. Glad we got that clarified.

Not sure what you mean.

That not "anyone" can become a black cab driver.

Well, applicants have to be the holder of an acceptable driving licence,
a citizen of one of only a limited number of countries, in good health
and of good character.

But none of those restrictions are unreasonable, as I'm sure you'll agree.
