Most people also cannot afford to buy cars or houses in one go, yet regulations don't get ignored because of them.

There is almost no way we can compare cars and houses with the average CRUD software, in terms of damage they can do to a person.

More than that, even in the case where damage does happen, most people would rate physical damage higher than non-physical damage, for example monetary loss.

Surely we can, it is all a matter of what CRUD software is managing.

There are institutions that rate what the damage actually means.
