There's tons of utter garbage commercial software. There's commercial software with intentionally built in backdoors and information stealing. Most of it gets zero accountability, nor do the sites that distribute it, nor the ad networks that find viewers for it.

Just like there's basically no reputational harm anymore for leaking all your users details for most leaks
