This is still the victory of iterative and agile over waterfall. Big up front designs are really only needed when building the shuttle or where people might die. There is no physical installation. The cost of going more than agile or iterative is too risky.
Software engineering is also agile and iterative. The nature of the project determines the level of metrics and engineering of maintenance you need.
That being said, standards have led us to where we are now with the web. MIME, HTTP, TCP/IP, HTML, etc. The IETF, W3C and other organizations are still engineering standards.
