Real engineering would be the same if they got to ignore the laws of physics more often.

Also people get oddly grouchy if buildings fall down on them.

My GPU drivers crash and take out my entire computer about once a night (AMD Windows drivers are just..... abysmal) and I just grumble.

If a tiny local bridge collapses, with nobody on it, it probably still is newsworthy and people get upset.

Millions of bridges have been built in human history, but only a handful of GPU drivers.

The bridge doesn’t need to withstand the river suddenly turning into lava or the atmosphere becoming sulphuric. The driver has to be prepared for whatever Windows and the hardware put up.
