The existence of exceptions doesn’t mean the principle doesn’t exist. All three of those have restrictions on their production and sale of their products. They also have higher liability thresholds and have had to pay massive civil fines for their harm. Society has applied a balancing test where the harm they inflict is deemed less than some other compelling social objective. We may not agree with that assessment but it is a sensible and settled approach that we can apply to AI.
