The sharp rise in accident costs that resulted from compensation laws and tighter employers’ liability initiated the modern concern with work safety and initiated the long-term decline in work accidents and injuries. There was a long history of companies not caring about accidents and death in industry machinery. Companies claimed it was unavoidable, blamed their workers for doing this wrong, etc... Then the law made them care. The unsolvable non-problem turned out to be a solved problem in a few years. We also got some red tape as a side dish, but that's a good deal, all in all Software is the same: If organizational leadership felt immediate pain from sloppiness, that sloppiness would disappear quickly. But now, we have fallen in a point where software gives no warranty at all, users have accepted the low quality as a regrettable fact of life, and companies attribute their low productivity to vague nebulous unsolvable mysteries instead of sloppy software. So here we are.
