The problem is grossly irresponsible people will eventually hurt someone if they are permitted to continue the activity. What would this moron do next if he were permitted to keep his license? Maybe he would land on a highway? Or fly under the Golden Gate bridge? Or engage in some other reckless activity that has tremendous potential for causing damage or injury. The goal is to make sure reckless people are stopped BEFORE they cause injury or damage. This has nothing to do with government overreach and everything to do with protecting society from reckless idiots.
I think I already made the comment about tyrants. It suits you.
