Yup - and guess what, the only people hurt by this are the lowest level people. No manager or exec will feel any pain from this incompetence. Someone who isn't responsible but couldn't do their job effectively as a result is having a worse life now.

This is one of the primary reasons why I am totally done with Tech

The distance between users and builders is so excessively far apart now and the levels of abstraction for actually building things that are robust is just not even a consideration in software-centric design. Literally everything you have built after IDK 2000(?) will have exactly this issue. Just hope you're not at a scale that crushes people.

Software is the language of alienation and increasingly becoming unethical, as these systems are becoming increasingly impactful on the most vulnerable with no buttresses or supports preventing this kind of malfeasance.

It's not trivial. These are people's livelihoods at stake.
