What others have already said. Aside from which, its still not the same. Again, look at series examples like Todoroki and Bakugo. Both born with their quirks. Todoroki, on a few different occasions, has unexpected consequences to his quirk that he never thought of or misused it because he was emotional at the time. He is, in all respects, a genius that has been trained by the number 2 hero in Japan.

Bakugo, despite the law, used his quirk in small ways as a child all the time. Again, HE MAKES EXPLOSIONS. And sure, he's fine with using them, but he's stated that even if he knows how to control the output on power, he didn't just magically know what effects an explosion would have. That he had to learn and figure out through practice.

Just because you were born with wings and your body is adapted to use them, doesn't mean you know how to fly. Or that you know the consequences of your actions when it comes to flying in an urban environment. Or that you're ready to accept responsibility in case something goes wrong and you end up hurting yourself or someone else by flying around. Or destroying something. And because you don't, to me, it is perfectly reasonable to go 'yeah, no. You don't get to fly around until you get a license or, in some sense, prove you won't be an issue'.

Cause its not just about 'can you do this thing you do naturally safely', its also 'will you take responsibility if something goes wrong because of you doing this thing that you don't need to be doing in the first place to live a normal live'. Even if its just the equivalent of a driver's test for Quirks to allow you to use it in private or a limited capacity, that makes things far better than just letting people do what they want. Except you can't have a standardized test for quirks because quirks are in no way standard. Hence hero academies which can determine through a more personal touch if you know what the hell you're doing and are ready to accept any repercussions for your actions.
