There is a parallel here with Boeing and 737 MAX. In both cases an executive or high-level manager interfered with the engineers.
In the case of Boeing it actually started right from the beginning with the decision to create a kludge based on very dated designs to try to meet new requirements and save a buck rather than create a new design.
Engineers should be in charge of engineering companies and they should also continue to be incentivised to operate as engineering supervisors in those roles rather than just salespeople or accountants.
I actually think it's not just the people or the incentives but the nature of money. It's a fundamental technology but I think we should find ways to upgrade it as a high technology so that it integrates better all of our values that might not currently be in the bottom line.
