I mean, I don't disagree that "gross negligence" is a thing. But that's still very different from outright malice. Intent matters. The legal system also makes such a distinction. Punishments differ. If you're a prosecutor, you can't just make the argument that "this negligence is indistinguishable from malice, therefore punish like malice was involved".
