Software engineering isn't special in this regard. It happens in a lot of other domains. Software often doesn't have a lot of the constraints of other disciplines so effects like these are more pronounced. I would characterize all the statements you made as false. Though it does depend on what your standards are. Most of the critical things are done well enough, but that is a pretty low bar.
