I agree with this in spirit, but we use this language for inanimate objects that lack agency all the time. If I built a car and let it roll down a hill with no one in it and it hit a person, we would say “the car ran a person over”. This does not imply agency on the car’s part, and it does not imply that I am not responsible.
Be that as it may, it’s very important to keep the shitty developers in these conversations. Most people don’t make that logical leap automatically.
“The car ran a person over after EvilHankVenture let it roll down hill.” Agency restored!
