Simple. It's because the range of such proccedings has been limited by
judicial review.
If you took your interpretation, any law of whatever kind enacted by
one state would have effect in every other.
I could move to Nebraska from California, and claim that my license as
a purveyor of "medical" marijuana from CA left me immune from
prosecution by NE authorities. That makes a mockery of the concept of
Federalism and state sovereignty.
As to the DL example, that's because each state DECIDES to temporarily
accept the licenses. And you typically don't have to retake a driving
test. Just like they decide to accept testing done in another state
for PE.
