It's not that it's impossible to implement, it's just that the resources that could implement it are being expended elsewhere. If the deployers of the software don't have the resources to test the software in their deployment, the unfortunate reality is that no one else is likely to have the resources to test it either. A decision has to be made to either expend the resources in testing before the release, or expend resources in living with or fixing the bugs after the release. Blaming others for the reality of that decision is counter-productive, and wastes resources that could be better spent testing for future releases or helping to get the bugs fixed.
