Could it be that...

- most software engineers are put off by what they see as "admin" and 
"paperwork"
- most software engineers are learning on the job, and may be worried 
about the possibility of being exposed for not knowing enough
- most software engineers would be reluctant to personally sign off on a 
'safety critical' review
- most software production for the last decade or so has been "Agile" or 
open source or both, whereas safety seems to be still "V model" or 
nothing
- most safety is still under NDA
