> When we write an app

Well there's one difference right there. When I sell my software I provide a warrantee and will refund if the software is not substantially functional, as described in the documentation and marketing.

A couple of consulting jobs have also required that I carry insurance to cover possible restitution due to errors and omissions - because yes, I do make mistakes.

As I understand it, the stochastic parrot providers require indemnification before you can use their products, so they are clearly held to a lower standard than humans.
