accountable is fine;;; ---- liable for ?
How many of the early cars built could go 1000 miles without breaking down. The engine when running made the sound of exploding fireworks. This was the early days of the automobile industry. Today it is a mature industry.

For that matter take the garment industry. Cave men roamed the earth in their birthday suit. Then used leaves etc to cover their bodies. It has now progressed to manufacturing clothes as in industry.

CEO's pay scale is in the millions and it goesup by 10% every year even for no performance. Burecrats at government offices get over $150K and excellent benefits for doing no work - just travelling around and trying to be a diplomat. The knowledge required to be a super competent programmer is tremendous. In return what does the programmer get - (jobs outsourced, long hours, ....).

Software is very young industry. Sure things have come a long way. I'm all accountability. Burecrats who cant program a line, coming up with laws, solutions is a receipe for disaster.
