Software is buggy when people are more willing to buy the cheaper buggy software vs the higher price of more robust software.

When people want more robust software, they pay for it and it is delivered. None of the modern world would work without immense amounts of highly robust software you don't even think about, from your bank, to the airplane you fly on.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. If I sell a car that doesn't start half of the time, I can just say "well people pay more for cars that always work, you chose to spend less so you got what you deserved"?

For used vehicles, we already have that in practice; when you sell a vehicle “as is,” that’s putting a buyer on notice that that they’re going to bear the risk of future failure.

Similarly, when you buy a cooler at Wal-Mart for $25, you know it’s not going to perform the same as a $250 Yeti model.

They're saying the software that makes the car start was more expensive than the software that allows you to play music in the car.
