The quality standards need to be set by the courts or by leglislation.
No software is perfect. It's unreasonable for any bug to be considered criminal negligence, or else the entire software development profession would be in prison.
Instead, software that can result in life or death or prison scenarios needs to have tested, documented, verified quality controls, just like we do for vehicles.
But that means courts or the legislature have to decide what those standards are.
