Yeah, the problem is that the large majority of the world isn't Google, software isn't their main business, and their codebases are maintained by a continuous rotation of external contractors that are paid by the tickets that they get to implement.
Yep, and don't get me wrong. Stray out of the monorepo and into the wilds of various git hosted code bases at Google and you'll find code rotting in the fields, maintained to a far lower standard (IMHO).
