I don't think it's really that harsh if you look at it as a bug in a critical system. Certain fields with safety critical systems (such as medical or aviation software) face similarly strict regulations and enforcement for the good of the public. It seems to me with that with the volume of money being affected by this system that the potential danger for faults in the software would be as high as potential damages from medical software or something similar.
