I think for a lot of people it's that they stopped caring or obsessing over the (perceived) small details; AI makes it very easy to work on a higher level. I suspect (don't quote me on this) that it's the same for a lot of developers that grew to more lead / managerial positions - at some point the details don't matter much to you personally and you need to spend your energy elsewhere.
But I hope people are gathering metrics. We had an extra meeting the other day because we're seeing an upwards trend in outages, the meeting was mainly about how it affects various departments (like customer support) and potential revenue loss (can't sell a product/service if the signup page is down for three days).
Thing is, there's no one cause for any of those - we have hundreds of engineers, dozens of applications and 3rd party integrations, millions of (potential) customers each running their own set of devices, and it's pretty much impossible to control everything.
But this goes beyond whether or not code was written by an attentive hand working under a strict set of policies or an AI that figures it out on the go, and goes up a level to things like realtime monitoring and incident responses.
