You're thinking at the high-level of software. Think about firmware and low-level software. That code needs to be those things because of the extremely expensive costs to issue recalls for fixing software bugs or getting feature updates into them. Examples include firmware in almost any appliance, toy, power tool, FM radio, cheap camera, etc.

Do you have any specific examples of devices with bug-free firmwares that I can inspect?

    I'm very familiar with firmware extraction, I'm a security researcher who also dabbles in hardware. I've never seen a bug-free one, though. I'm looking for specific examples of software that is feature-complete and bug-free.

      So the Casio F-91W is a great example. It's been in-use for decades. Does 4 things perfectly: Time, date, alarm, stopwatch.
