I guess you’ve never dealt with networked or distributed systems? They have unexpected failures all the time.

Moreover your software has to interact with that of everyone else ever. Imagine if every circuit you make has to connect to every previous circuit.

Every wall powered device on the North American grid is connected to the same circuit. And even within circuit design, it's all designed piecemeal with inputs and outputs.
