We are carrying our approach to less meaningful systems into critical systems, and that's why we end up having disasters. We need to separate our systems and use a philosophy that makes sense in each context. The Windows a gamer uses may be the same as what runs 911 call centers and pretty much everything in my emergency department, but losing a gaming machine clearly matters less. So just firing out broken software as if every device is the same is a really dumb and broken model. Convenience may matter more to the gamer, but it doesn't for someone who isn't breathing. This is a massive issue beyond any single person or company.
