IT engineers routinely do that to other fields as well. I'm a doctor and tech guy. The amount of times I have to read the ignorant arrogance of some guy thinking some ML is about to replace doctors... I wish people will just stick to what they know best, and approach other fields with respectful curiosity.

Don't worry, it will. A bunch of people will die afterwards, but they'll all be poor so noone will care when they look at how much it improved profits.

in systems where thousands of lives depend on your design working correctly even in adverse conditions like storms ?

Most of us have classifiers to tell if a picture is a hot dog or not a hot dog, but we don’t necessarily tell hospitals we’ve solved the problem of early cancer diagnosis.
