Disagree. The cost is instead pushed to the consumer.
How many man hours were involved in fixing HeartBleed?
How much time/money have people lost due to security/tech malpractice at Equifax?
I've never been in a position where _lives_ were on the line, but I have been on projects where bugs would cost the company real money. The engineering mindset changes quickly.
Just because the company found a clever way to shift the cost off their balance sheet doesn't mean it's gone. It's just been hidden.
