I think an important caveat, one that has been addressed by those mentioning the Uber debacle, is that the person who takes the responsibility must also bear some authority over the process or action. Responsibility without authority is Damoclesian sword for those on the lowest rungs of power. It becomes laughably easy to just create a contractual scapegoat, and it’s not a guess to say that those in power would abuse that capacity.
