I'm not sure how "mandatory liability insurance" gets translated into "have to design systems which are impervious."

You're forced to spend money to mitigate losses. If you can do something to decrease the losses, or the likelyhood of suffering one, then the insurance will cost less.

Right, so your spending will increase up to the point where your ROI is 1:1, then you'll stop. That point will be long before you reach imperviousness.
