I blame it in SCRUM. It is the "We know there is a bug but we will ship it anyway and if someone notices we well fix it with a software update"
SCRUM mentality has zero consequences if you ship bad product for the developers. In the end it kills your reputation.

As someone not in the software industry, what is so bad about SCRUM, and how does it lead to apathy toward bugs? What other organization styles are there that avoid these issues?

It basically comes to this, you have fixed deadlines every 2-3 weeks. The other issue that you work in a team and everyone in the team is equal.
The short cycle means that you never can have a well out thought design. If a but gets discovered then any fixes gets moved to another time. Could be the next sprint or 2 sprints further or even months. They just ship half tested and backed code to production. If users complain then we will fix it, if they don't then keep it.
The other issue is that since you act as a team, no one in the team will do any effort to create high quality code/product. Being a leader in the team is not accepted since everyone should be equal. Political Correctness is more important than to created good products.
What happens is what you see on a wide scale, systematic erosion of good quality products that gets fixed before it gets released. Only when they get caught with their pants down, and enough users revolt they will fix the issue.
(For the record my current team is one of the best SCRUM teams that I have worked for, my explanation here does not represent them! But the last 10 years I have been in multiple different SCRUM teams)
The idea of SCRUM is that bad developers gets elevated to better developers because the better ones will coach them. The hard reality is that a lot of developers simply does not have the mental capacity to reach the level of good developers. It is an impossible goal, so the SCRUM master will slow down the good developer to the level of the other team members. The best developer will probably say screw you to the team and leave. So you end up with the worst developers in the end. No one notices that the team is now under-performing than it should be.
How to solve?
Agility how real agile developers work. Not this over abstracted way that has no basis in reality.
What do real agile developers do?
Solutions
What has this to do with CPU's? Because they have a programmable microcode that in case they fuck it up they can fix it later on. This is the problem, no motivation to create good products in the first place.

AMD is the better choice i think.
