Real world need for DbC, or some way to show due diligence:

Quote:

"The third area, and this is where the committee has been most far-sighted, and 
therefore in the short term this may well be their most controversial 
recommendation, is that they wish to see a software liability regime, viz: that 
software companies should become responsible for their security failures.....

"and in practice it may be a decade or two before there’s sufficient case law 
for vendors to know quite where they stand if they ship a product with a buffer 
overflow, or a race condition, or just a default password...."

Competitive advantage to be exploited here.
