Yes, and in my physics classes I learned a lot about spherical, frictionless cows in a perfect vacuum.
In the real world, the shape of cows is not a sphere, nor even a closed-form equation. And real organization care about blame, and as the saying goes, shit rolls downhill.
It's your responsibility to work on a team that handles bugs like adult engineers rather than school children or politicians. Engineers have a duty to be spokespersons for rational and humane engineering processes.
I've shipped more than my share of bugs live. I've never felt like I didn't have a team behind me. Obviously I shipped a lot of things that work, as well.
Working someplace humane and rational doesn't just happen, it requires work.
I expect anyone with "Senior" in their job title to do that work, both in terms of setting team culture and establishing post-mortem policies with management.
There are actually a lot of really good organizations. The ones that don't do basic engineering management well don't tend to keep their good engineers these days.

The difference is that in the real world, organizations exist that don't merely blame the developer, and aren't really that rare. To give you an idea, I simply don't work for managers that are focused on blame. I probe this during any interview I have, or for any position I'm considering. It's on my list of "Life is too short to put up with this."
