My experience is rather that the typical software developer is ultra-cautious, and will always leave some loophole open in the workflows of the software in case something unexpected occurs that could not be foreseen, in particular considering the high stakes that are involved when something goes wrong with the software: I am not exaggerating when I claim that if something like what is is described in the article happens to some people, they often will start praying to their god that he kills the responsible people for this bug in the software in the most brutal imaginable way. Software developers know that.
Other stakeholders typically don't apply such caution.
