What exactly is the difference between an official 'private' organization and an official 'state' organization? The only real difference I can see is that one can actually enforce the rules it makes. I think you may be using this ideological opposition to the State as a way to have something absorb blame for things you do not want to attribute to complex human mechanisms.

The difference is if people should go to jail for writing bad software.

I’d argue no.

Let the private sector regulate this. If you want to use an extremely locked down OS with a small handful of apps, go right ahead.

The State has no role in this.

I guess if you can prove negligence you can sue.
