What makes software engineering special is the systems are more complex and are cheaper to test and break. You get a completely different engineering culture when you can roll back a bad change after seeing it fail during the canary push. That, and what's usually on the line is money, not life. I'd feel a lot better making a $1M mistake than making a mistake that killed someone.
