Yeah great point. It’s like why does my doctor have to wash their hands before operating on me but my CPA doesn’t have to wash their hands before doing my taxes?

Cute analogy dude, but it's startling that you think that the negative impact of software engineers is as contained as a CPA typing on their keyboard with dirty hands.
Equifax leaked PII for over one third of the entire US. The stress and financial loss of identity theft can take years off of people's lives.
That's just the big example, but there are countless other smaller examples of bad security and other bugs harming people in tangible ways.
