Then punish defects. Give programmers the freedom to define their semantic space, but make sure to punish profit-seeking entities for insecure behavior. It's not that simple of course (it's easier for FB to pay a fine than a startup, for example), but we need to enforce the cost of defects at the organization level. I mean, there's also a world where FB apologizes about how they "forgot" to remove `unsafe` from a part of Rust code.

Definitly, liability needs to happen, sledgle with lawsuits hammer any company that doesn't take security seriously.

Sledge with lawsuits and company that knowingly buys uncertified software.

Like the FAA does.

Never, ever going to happen in enterprise and consumer software.

It already happens when that enterprise and consumer software is deployed in high integrity computing scenarios.
