It feels easier to disassociate oneself from an ephemeral codebase whose existence vanishes entirely from your life as soon as you leave a company. Compare that with someone working on an airplane that a family member may rely on to safely transit. That's what makes it even more sad that computer science majors are shielded from all those concerns in engineering. There really should be a "software engineering" minor that delves into what the rest of the engineering world contends with.
