I mean, the bare naked reality is that software, web software in particular, is still like... a hundred-billion dollar industry. Maybe more. As long as it's still profitable enough to deal with these supply chain attacks occasionally, and nobody legislates or regulates things, we'll keep lumbering along like this. I'm disappointed, and I don't like the current state of affairs, but we can't just expect anything to change in the absence of any kind of external pressure.

Completely agree, which is why I support such endeavors wholeheartedly.

I did not agree with regulation until this post on hacker news.

The comments here have convinced me that the industry is basically beyond self help.
