The difference is that there are standardized (global) guidelines for
those infrastructures within their own industry, that lack of compliance
can lead to serious fines, jail time or both.
A network operator unmaliciously screwing up their BGP configuration and
taking one side of a continent out is unlikely to see any punishment
beyond being fired by his employer, or losing his customers if
self-employed.
