I tend to agree with you that these are relatively easy things to detect. I see no reason for the downvotes.

Production systems should have relatively robust testing whose coverage can be increased over time. When something panics, the cause of the panic should be fixed so that the panic never happens again. Over time panics shouldn't be happening.

Then again the systems that I have relied on I have written on my own without other hands in the pot so maybe I just don't have to deal with the reality of other programmers phoning things in.
