The firmware in all the electronic gizmos in your life aren't running "just apps". Much of it is poorly developed shoot from the hip code that is riddled with bugs. Some of it is running in cars and planes that manage to kill people because of hubris.

And some of it is developed under standards like ISO 26262, or IEC 61508. You would be amazed at what goes into your steering, braking, airbag, and stability control systems.

You think that's most of what's being developed today? Life critical firmware?
