Exactly!!!!

Seriously, this philosophy of ignoring supposedly "minor" bugs in
software is what led to the sad state of software today, where nothing
is reliable and people have come to expect that software will inevitably
crash, and that needing to reboot an OS every now and then just to keep
things working is acceptable. Yet, strangely enough, people will scream
bloody murder if a car behaved like that.
