Oh so you can fire QA department, get absolutely destructive update to millions of systems across the globe and this gross negligence doesn't matter because of magic words in a contract? I don't think so.

Then how else is their legal liability is limited?

They killed off their QA department to chase profits which resulted in a broken product that crippled hundreds of organizations across the globe.

They don't get to just shrug, say oopsie, and point at the contract.
