As a plane crash costs lives of a few hundred people the criteria should be different from "normal" software. And for most parts and most history software in aeronautics was created with special care and tooling and under research of provability.

In the case of MCAS, that's likely true: the software was behaving exactly per spec; the problem was in the earlier requirements-definition phase.

A grievous failure in Systems Engineering and FMEA, I believe is the industry term.
