> Is anyone designing software where failures don't have consequences?

Most, as far as business outcomes are concerned.

> Just ask Crowdstrike.

Crowdstrike's stock is higher than before the incident. They did an enormous amount of damage and nobody thinks it matters from a business perspective. Their failure was pretty much consequence free to the people who matter in business (the owners).

Equifax is breached again and again, and up soars their stock price too.
