Strict liability for negligence would just mean sending business overseas where that rule isn't in play, and chilling it domestically.

No one is interested in the deal "if you get it right, you make some money; if you get it wrong, we obliterate you".

The move from caveat emptor to caveat venditor has coincided with everyone legally ringfencing things with corps & LLCs. People find ways back to a fair deal.

If we have strict liability for truck drivers nobody will sign up to drive hazardous cargo.
