I will be called a statist, but I think the software industry is really lacking regulations and quality standards.
I'm not a security guy, but I think most of the security flaws you find in software are caused by the lack of government approved security standards. I mean is there ISO stuff for software quality? And even if there is, I really don't think it's useful or that it tries hard enough.
Just look at healthcare.gov, I'm sure things would have been going much more smoothly if there was ISO rules.
Although it might be debatable if it's possible or wise to have such standards. But I would really appreciate it if important software like OS's had actual standards.
It seems that most of the stuff talked about in this article are just mistakes allowed by a permissive practices.
