How do I get the same thing going for my software? That is, to get it mandated or legislated that people have to buy it (preferably multiple times: subscription). And no matter what happens, I can't be held liable or pay damages. Sounds like a very solid business model.

Become an AV vendor. A good one.

Entire sections of business are (for all intents and purposes) legally required to run up-to-date AV products on all their Windows endpoints.

You mean a good one in regard to the business, right? Because that seems to have very little to do with producing a good AV product.

Is your software potentially saving lives but also have the risk of potentially damaging some people?

If so, you probably could get the government to cover you.
