  Not all software is life or death. I'd argue that very little of it is.

      Point not taken. That remains as the vast minority of all software. I can't link a counterexample because nobody would ever put an article saying "indie game has bug" or "IoT coffeepot has to be rebooted every few months," but I can assure you the majority of software has much lower stakes.
