Actually it's simpler. People and organizations would just move to a jurisdiction where such liability laws didn't exist. Apple would move. Microsoft would move. Google would move.

And then the US would be forced to decide whether to accept imports of foreign devices and software (created under the no-liability framework) or to stay with homegrown technology frozen in time.

The best thing you can say about this proposed reform is that it would make a great plot for a sci-fi novel.

Tech companies can't even manage to leave San Francisco's outrageous cost of living and rising crime, much less the United States.

You think they are trying? When VC and executives live in walled castles and own multiple rental and investment property?

I mean the hub thing and synergistic collaboration are cool but employees are not 3x more productive because of it.

Why would it be frozen in time?

Local development would rendered unable to compete with the fast moving zero-liability model that quickly and cheaply delivered the features that consumers wanted. Either it's import would be banned or the local industry would crumble.
