You're assuming that software developed "slowly and deliberately" is higher quality than the best engineers and a sense of urgency.

Pretty sure NASA would agree with that assumption.

NASA did get to the moon in under a decade though. I definitely suspect there was a heightened sense of urgency when they were working on that. Sub-orbital to lunar in 10 years is pretty quick.

NASA puts lots of effort into avoiding any failure and then still encounters failures.

(Nothing wrong with failures if they're anticipated, of course.)
