A civil engineer will put their stamp on the design of a bridge certifying that it will not fail. If it does fail, they will be held responsible and may lose their license to practice.

Software engineers often hide behind a contract saying they aren't responsible for anything.

Software engineers are held responsible to plenty of things (HIPAA) when there is a will to do so.
