I’m not why you have a question about this, it seems pretty straightforward to me, even if you look at this through a purely financial lens as opposed to a morality lens. I assume that you believe that it’s the right thing to do so I’ll argue my financial lens point. If something went wrong because you haven’t implemented the safety features you would first lose money in any potential lawsuits/payouts and second through the hit in your reputation. Not being able to sell your product because you don’t have the public good-will that your competitors have will lose you your money and possibly your company. Investing even millions in safety features is a small price to pay in a billion dollar industry (a little more than half a trillion at this point).
