The problem is that X includes a nonzero risk to human life/limb that is the responsibility of the person doing X. If you are in charge of a hospital and just let Y people die because there's not enough qualified doctors to run ventilators then you can easily wash your hands of it as though it's not your fault. If you let less-qualified people run ventilators and Y/10 die from human error but you prevent 8Y/10 people from dying then all the families of the Y/10 that died from error are going to hold you responsible even though you minimized the number of overall deaths. We have spent decades holding people systemically dis-incentivizing people from doing positive things in bad situations by assigning responsibility in this perverse "who was the last one to touch it" manner. Society has made its bed and now it gets to lay in it. Nobody is gonna be the one that bucks the trend and reduces and sort of real or perceived safety standard in order to increase volume of care until the situation becomes so obviously bad that not doing so is indefensible.
