Replying to @cperciva
I think this is gratuitously unfair to the software industry, which will denominate expenditure on e.g. security in Q1 2019 in billions of dollars. I am frustrated that we don’t even give ourselves credit for that.

The fact that "spending on security" is even a thing seems like a problem to me. Do engineering firms have separate line items in their budgets for "making sure the bridges don't fall down"?

Literally yes, as evidenced by the fact that budgeting is how capitalism expresses preference for outcomes and that firms strongly anti-prefer bridges collapsing. There are also line items for cars not exploding, stress testing airplanes, etc.
