> You are writing this based on gut feeling, big companies simply can't go over every bug report- it's not scalable.
I often hear this repeated, and I keep wondering: why? Why is it not scalable?
Apple had 265 billion dollars of revenue in 2018. I'm spending 10% of my budget on QA. So, in the case of Apple, if you had a 26 billion dollar budget (give or take a few billion) for your QA department, why couldn't you go over every bug report?
It's definitely possible, it's just that companies are making a different tradeoff, assuming that bugs will not influence buying decisions that much. And to a certain extent they are right.
