> if you install a mobile app from the app store, are you responsible and accountable for every single thing the app does in your system?

Yes. I can try to vet the app to the best of your abilities and beyond that it's a tradeoff between how likely is it to cause harm and do the benefits outweigh these harms.

Of course everyone is differently qualified to do this but my argument is more about professionals. Managers should know better than to blindly trust LLM companies. Engineers should take better care what they allow LLMs to do and what tools they give them.

There is a difference between "I couldn't have known" and "I didn't know". You can know that LLMs are not trustworthy. You couldn't have know what they do but you already knew that trusting them blindly might be bad.

You could know that giving a baby a razor blade is a bad idea. You can't know what exactly will happen but you might have a pretty good idea that it will probably be not good.

No, you don't. If you install malware you are not suddenly held responsible for what has been done to you. Even EULAs you are forced to accept don't shift the responsibility away from bad actors.

I am talking about myself. I have to be careful with what I do. No EULA or any other legal framework protects me from my data be stolen. I have to be careful myself and not just blindly install crapware.

Except what we have here is razor blade companies getting the government to heavily subsidize present razor blade production running massive advertising campaigns and intense intra-industry pressure to give said razor blades to babies under fear of losing your job or "falling behind" those not giving razor blades to babies.

Let's not forget all the razor blade enthusiasts just screaming at you that you are using babies with razor blades wrong and that it works totally fine for them.
