Fines and vulnerability to class actions make the costs far more visible (and increase it besides). If non-specialists routinely make bad decisions because they don't understand how cost works, then the solution is to make the cost of bad software dead obvious.
It's simply not fair to non-specialists to expect them to have a working knowledge of how cost works in software.
