Cute fantasy about pinning everything on management but people do remember the old adage that "shit rolls downhill" don't they? What that will result in is very onerous processes and certifications mandated by "those in charge" on the people at the bottom to generate ironclad proof of no wrongdoing, at least for themselves. Maybe that is ultimately what this industry needs but it is also going to result in a work environment which really sucks a lot.

It isn't about pinning everything on management, that's just as unfair to them as today's setup is for everyone else.

When management actively makes decisions to prioritize profit over security, for example, they should be held personally liable when a security issue occurs. I'm not really sure what a reasonable argument for that not being the case would look like.

If such a setup did result in a shitty work environment, people would ultimately have the option to not work at certain companies or to work for themselves. We can't assume that people must work for big tech and limit ourselves to what works in that sandbox.
