I'm not sure I'm understanding you properly. I see programs break all the time if they get descheduled longer than an engineer thought was reasonable.

I also see programs break just because the system clock jumps ahead for some reason (administration, hardware flaws, etc), or because the delta in the wallclock time between two systems is stable but over "what is reasonable".

Maybe you weren't talking about these scenarios? They're bad software for sure, but in my experience most software is bad software.
