It may be far better than average software quality but far more also relies on it. The question is whether the quality is adequate in light of what is at stake.

Really? How is it different from a kernel bug that causes random behaviour? Both apparently can be fixed with a software update. They're both bad, but why should Intel be held to a higher standard if mitigation is similarly complex?
Because futher down the stack, more reliable a tech has to be. Otherwise good luck debugging. Also agree with heisenbit.
Hmmm... on that note, if the universe is a simulation, then a bug in that could have some interesting ramifications.
