This also seems to create more jobs for bureaucrats. I remember quite a few audits where all that happens is that people just look at all the "paperwork" (now digital) and nobody looks at the code. Then in the end the liability is so diluted that no one can be held responsible, especially not any government agency that on principle don't suffer consequences from mistakes.

I think this law tries to combat the no-consequences issue: now the compay selling the device / service will be responsible for their safety.
