Enablers of crime (e.g. drove the getaway car) have always been held accountable along with the ones who commit the crime itself. They might not get punished as much, but they do get punished.
Except here we are talking about punishing the manufacturer of the getaway car, not the driver. It's a whole extra degree of separation.
As an added thought: Why do we allow street-legal cars capable of exceeding the speed limit? That's enabling a crime, isn't it? (disclaimer: if anyone tried to speedlimit my car that low they would find themselves significantly worse off!)

Too bad I don't want to go the gay bar that my neighbour visits, huh? :)
