It is a culture thing. The damage that broken code has caused was either not big enough to shift that culture, or (more likely) everybody involved convinced themselves that software errors are both inevitable and a welcome excuse to pin things onto — just try how often some privacy leak/hack/error is blamed on "software failure" as if this was one of gods lightning bolts nobody can protect against.
If we did electrical engineering like we did software every gadget would come with a fire extinguisher. If we did civil engineering like we did software engineering we would have daily bridge collapses.
In the dawn of modern civil and electrical engineering indeed many catastrophes happened, and they did happen till culture changed and had an inpact on the education of future engineers. This point has not been reached at all with software engineering outside of safety critical applications.
