It is NOT included with any other license and most companies and people do not have the license.

…fines...
...the director may assess a fine against a person:..
Not all licensed companies have a great ratio between licensed sprayers / applicators and square feet of landscape they take care of. If they miss the "window" it can affect their customers landscaping. What is the ratio for your landscaper? Is it realistic?
There are some granular herbicides but they need to be activated by water and considering when and how much water we get from rain can affect if and when it gets activated. If can get blown out of the landscaping into areas it is not intended for and or activated when it is not needed which is pollution and wasteful spending. Granular fertilizer has a time and place for when it is / should be used and we assess each property on a case by case basis.
Each herbicide has a different amount of time till it can be "walked on". This information can be found on the label on the bottle it came in which can sometimes can also be found on the internet. Applicators should know this information.
This carries a small amount of material when compared to the other methods.
This typically carries more material than a hand sprayer but less than truck mounted.
This type of set up typically carries more material than other options but can not access certain areas.
