Speaking about safety, the problem is that most companies don't want to allocate time and resources to it. E.g. security is often at the bottom of the budget list. You can't really blame the programmers/engineers.

Not individual ones, at least not exactly. That's where self-regulation comes into play.

And what prevents companies to outsource the work to e.g. engineers from Asia, who might be more willing to trade moral standards for better living standards?
