Software safety is an abstract concept. You have experience with specific instances of problems that fall under the abstract concept of software security. This is not to say it is not important.

Not being able to move your hands is not an abstract concept. It can be directly experienced.

"A specific disability" is as little of an abstraction as "this specific software vulnerability".

"Disability in general" exactly as much an abstraction as "software safety in general".
