When will programmers begin (again) to do basic error checking?

It's sure as hell not because the tools don't exist. Even back in the late
1980's you had tools like Saber-C (now CodeCenter) that did huge amounts
of runtime error checking. The tools are there and have been there; it's
the "get it to market yesterday" mindset and the fact that a lot of software
engineers are spoiled brats that have allowed the lunatics to take control
of the asylum.
