It works fine until it doesn't and people die. At which point the blame falls on the maintenance crew? That's wrong. And where there's smoke there's fire. If the software has this horrible bug, likely the broken culture that created it has written worse, more subtle bugs.

Commercial air travel in the US is incredibly safe. The last fatal crash was in 2009.

I agree completely with the first part. But SWA-1380 was a commercial operating fatality in 2018. Not a crash into terrain, but the engine definitely crashed into the fuselage.

And yet the plane still landed safely.

Probably not much comfort for the passenger who was ejected from the plane and died...
