Historically you’re exactly right. I wonder if the situation has changed recently?

People understand why food, water, building and energy systems standards matter because they understand those systems can cause injury. Building codes, food inspections, FDA and FAA approval emerged as a result. Until recently, people didn’t understand that software can cause real-world injury. That understanding seems to be spreading now as examples become increasingly common.
