Regarding manufacturer liability: As this is a software issue, it would also apply to all software manufacturers. Suddenly, Microsoft/Apple/Google could be liable for damage through viruses that was enabled by a bug in their software. I don't think that law would ever be passed.

The problem was only fixed after some major incidents (not that computers are virus free now, but you can install windows and connect it to the internet without having a virus on your device within 5 minutes).
