Absolutely. The industry could have moved towards safer languages, better coding methodology and formal verification years ago (see for example MISRA C as at least a partial movement in this direction). It didn't, because it was cheaper not to.
We've had Ada since the 1970s yet it was never widely adopted outside of DoD and even DoD has moved away from it. Why? Whatever that answer may be, and I think it is as much about the novelty-seeking of the software world as anything else, would likely tell us a lot about how we ended up where we are.
