Most software warranties claim basically that they are not warrantied for any purpose. Then why sell them? Of course people are using them for particular purposes! And of course the software manufacturers are well aware of that!
Just like any product, if software has problems, there should be sufficient legal remedies available to compensate for the problems. The availability of such remedies will also STRONGLY encourage software companies to actually treat their customers with respect and make stable and secure products.
