The thing is software is made to compete for new monopolies rather than to perform functions reliably. There's so much funding for monopoly-rent-seeking that this dominates and characterizes the field. Correctness just isn't that important for that.

Over time, perhaps the available monopolies will dry up, a few megafirms will buy up everything that can collect rents, and the only software left to write will be practical.
