> professionals such as doctors do and what free and open source developers do You are right - there is less in the way of personal liability in the case of devs (but for the odd PII here and there), Precisely why I think there will be a disruption coming. > professionals get paid handsomely precisely because of the liability and responsibility Devs are, or can also be, well-paid 'professionals'.
