In a former job, I was once told by someone who was trying to mentor me: "You'd be VP by now if you stopped thinking through the implications of your actions!"
(No, I don't think they realized how revealing that advice was.)
Absolving yourself of all responsibility, allows yourself to move faster locally and reap the rewards, while potentially sowing chaos everywhere for everyone else.
A very transactional and instrumentalist, self-centered mindset.
Just because you didn't think about the emergent second-order effects of the thing you built doesn't absolve you of the responsibility for them.
