I remember seeing the foundationDB distributed systems testing video for the first time, and being blown away with what it takes to build robust software. Worth a view if you haven't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fFDFbi3toc

Would love to see more things in this direction, but, I agree that the market doesn't want it. Most users will gladly accept an infrequent bug for an earlier release, or lower cost version of a product.
