I am sure other fields have a better development story these days, but isn't it a matter of perceived risk and relative effort?
I.e. we rarely hear about plane crashes caused by software, or power plants accidentally blowing up due to an integer underflow.
Civil engineers make solid bridges, but most software is not the golden gate, it's a shed thrown together by some guy who's not an engineer nor a professional mason.
