I can respect the sentiment, and I agree your points are reasonable. And I think the problem actually stems from software development culture more than anything. Developers don't want the level of oversight you're suggesting. Many would make career decisions in order to avoid that kind of babysitting. At the same time, the tech world is bigger than it used to be, the stakes are higher, and more is on the line than ever before. Mistakes are more costly (though in this particular case I don't think you could prove any real damages). And worst of all, the political world remains incredibly tech-illiterate. So, those in charge of guiding us in this realm are ill-equipped to do so. I don't have a good answer for this. In an ideal world I'd like businesses to take this sort of thing more seriously, but in reality I don't see any reason that they should.
