Car makers have been held liable for the lack of intentionally designed safety features

There’s plenty of precedent

I think lack of safety features that meet our current common knowledge of the potential failure scenarios should be enough to shut down a company

We can refuse to enable commerce that jeopardizes or personal safety (literal or ephemeral data theft)

Capitalists are just humans. They can be culturally pressured and shunned. Such behavior has been a hallmark of human society since they began

Physics is a vacuum of such rules. Human society has always had them

It took a concerted campaign by Ralph Nader to hold car companies liable.

It isn’t clear how that would work with software. Would FOSS authors be held liable? That would mean the end of open source.
