Fully agreed. You can never prevent all issues because there's always a chance for a fire, bitrot due to cosmic rays etc and thus you can only reduce the probability as you correctly concluded.

Unfortunately the world we are in right now just makes the hardware issue even worse with APIs that are prone to introducing bugs in the programs.

Bad hardware should result in the software being extra carefully crafted to balance it out a bit but somehow we ended up with bad hardware and bad software :(
