Somewhat ironically, what CrowdStrike is doing here and what the author of this article seems to want are two manifestations of the same desire: to be compensated for one's expertise and judgement without bearing any responsibility when it goes wrong.

In any reasonably rational system, there should be some sort of balance between the two. That is hard to reach, as the various stakeholders are fundamentally at odds with one another, but it is easily believable that the dev who presses 'deploy' rarely has much of either.

This is exactly right. Disclaimer inflation has made disclaimers worthless since noone wants to bear responsibility unless absolutely necessary
