If this requirement was known to me before I bought, sure.

I think that this is a bad analogy to hardware, though. Polished steel roads are unreasonable to ask for, but bugless processors are reasonable to ask for.

No, they aren't. You can only buy the buggy processors that exist, not notional bugless ones.

As if processors were only sold by alien gods, and processors without bugs were impossible to create.

They may not be impossible to make, but they don't get made. And I guess you think Microsoft has been putting bugs in Windows for the last few decades just for something to do, or was that also the influence of alien gods?
