NY boating license

I just completed the required boating course for license needed in NY by 2025. Having been operating boats for more than 50 years and having been. NY licensed fishing guide running a 24 ft charter boat on Lake George I was not too happy about having to get a license. Called NY Parks and Recreation marine expert to see if expired guide’s license would work No. She asked, “Don’t you want safety on water.” Yeah of course. “Well that’s why the license. For safety.” Then why doesn’t someone who rents a boat need one? “That’s a money thing.” So it doesnt seem it is about safety.
Anyone know if Vermonters fishing NY waters are required to be licensed? I am guessing not.
The course is a pain. Much of it does not relate to our area. And anyone who has experience will not gain much.
