The bigger flaw in your argument is assuming that imposing strict regulations on developers in your own country would have magically prevented this software breach from engineers and a company in a foreign country.
I’m perplexed by how many people will see stories about companies having problems in foreign markets and conclude that we need to make things harder for ourselves domestically.
Programmers are more fungible than your local licensed doctor or your local licensed PE structural engineer.

Foreign companies care about complying with US policy when they sell to the US. It's not that complicated and I've said this repeatedly. Beyond that, one does not need an incredible imagination to think "how would these problems look domestically" so I don't know why so many people are hyperfocused on one problem existing in one country. It's not like the US doesn't see massive breaches constantly.
