The "No warranty" clauses on so much open source software isn't a joke.

It is completely serious.  Beyond "best effort" noone is responsible if
companies run software where they didn't fully assess their BoM and as a
result get damaged by what they don't know.  The failure mode you describe
is NOT OUR PROBLEM.  Beyond best effort, that is.

You have a really big mouth.   Why don't you have hard working hands to
match?  It might be surprising, but the usual way of handling defective
software is to FIX IT, rather than writing more hand-wringing text about it
which noone will read.
