I think that it's more shameful that modern operating systems are only slowly adapting file systems that can even detect that silent data corruption has occurred. EXT4, HFS+, and NTFS all make no effort to ensure the data you read back is the data you wrote.
Slowly Btrfs on Linux and ReFS on Windows are becoming more prevalent. Since storage density is growing faster than most home users can use it, hopefully in the near future consumer computers will come configured to store multiple copies of their data. Instead of one day noticing that a picture is corrupted or the computer won't boot, periodicity scrubs will detect corruption before it's too late.
