> the assertion that we MUST jail people, because it fits our "greed" narrative and whatever cognitive bias we drag into the picture, ensures that we will not remedy the problem effectively. This means people may die.
You don't send people to jail because of "greed", broadly speaking you might divide it into two categories: A) this specific person is a threat to society; B) this person did something morally unconscionable, irresponsible, negligent etc. The reasoning for following through with B is not merely vindictive, it's societal value is in sending a message that this behaviour is not OK! that is a preventative measure - "you must be morally responsible".
This is entirely applicable to this scenario: greed is NOT the problem, trying to make cheaper planes is NOT the problem, trying to beat the competition is NOT the problem - The problem is attaining those goals by gambling with peoples lives by cutting corners that significantly compromise safety, that is gross negligence.
... So yes! send the people responsible to jail, please show the next in line that this behaviour is not tolerated.
