Yes. People are losing the plot and embracing corruption with logic like this:
There will always be a few employees stealing. So why don't we just use this system that consistently and randomly introduces theft into every level of our cashflow. We can't expect perfection!
Damn well trying to enforce an "obviously no bugs" rule in a language runtime would mean zero progress in language runtimes.
We certainly wouldn't have gotten to where we are with runtime and compiler quality and performance if we had damn well tried to enforce such a rule
