There is no difference whatsoever between a contractor installing windows or insulation and me doing it. Yet I don't get money back unless I shell out a exorbitant rate to someone to do it for me.

Well.... I'd argue that it depends on the definition of "approved".
I get what you're saying about installing something yourself, but if someone like you (or I) install some high efficiency windows and do an terrible job, the energy efficiency coukd be compromised. You could say the same about a furnace, insulation etc.
Again, not knocking your construction ability, but having a qualified contractor do the installation might be a sensible requirement.
