Which is the problem: if you hire a builder or a plumber and they do something stupid which causes you significant harm, you can sue them. And you'll probably win.
If you buy a car and it's defective and causes you significant harm, you'll likely get compensation from a class action suit.
How did destructive software errors get an exemption from the legal principle of accountability? (I know the EULAs say whatever, but that doesn't mean they can't be challenged in court.)
Adobe, MS, Apple and the rest don't need to care about software quality because they don't need to worry about expensive legal action by customers.
Stupid crap like this will continue to happen until that changes.
Look, bugs in software are as old as software itself, comparing software to a builder is not helpful because it is simply not the same thing at all - software is a lot more abstract and the effects of doing certain things are far less measurable at composition time - also builders have several thousands of years of tradition, programmers have less than a hundred.
