Because while modern medicine has advanced a lot, AFAIK there are still some cases where the quality of medical treatment is exactly how you described. For one, there aren't really any processes in place to ensure doctors actually keep themselves up to date with the latest medical knowledge, so the doctor you see might be say 20 years out of date. And yes, for this example, it would be expensive to fix this, say you enforce a rule that 20% of the doctor's time must be spent on something other than treating patients or revenue generation. So nobody's gonna do this.
At least software doesn't often lead to deaths. At least not directly.
