How would you set the incentives, though? Almost by definition, it's hard to reward things that aren't visible.
Note that there is also the flip side of the coin, people who spend all their time worrying about things that never happen, so it's not like you can just reward a defensive attitude things are more complicated than that.
You're right, but what I'm saying is that solving the problem isn't necessarily the primary goal and these new abstractions can be valuable in their own right.
