A totally reasonable pipeline may be unauditable for this purpose.
Why? Because in my experience, the bottleneck is in shareholders approving new features, not my ability to dish out code.
European proponents of "anti-big-tech action" make it pretty explicit - broad discretionary power should be given to executive branch, because otherwise "international corporations" will use "loopholes" (and these "loopholes" are, in practice, explicitly written laws used as intended).
Asynchronous (you don't know when and where you will get Internet/local network connectivity) mesh (there is no gov infrastructure to be trusted) networking in presence of malicious (gov operated) and unreliable (destroyed by gov) nodes is probably among hardest problems known to computer science.
The problem is, they can't find the moat, despite searching very hard, whatever you bake into your AI, your competitors will be able to replicate in few months. This is why OpenAI is striking deal with Disney, because copyright provides such moat.
Yeah, broad tivoisation and patent clauses make it a problem, because making any patent litigation on unrelated grounds has potential to lose ability to ship the entire OS.
Remember - that's the core issue. Development of housing or green energy projects or industries with low externalities should be by-right.
The hardest part of building nukes is acquiring weapon-grade enriched uranium, because it's controlled as hell and you will get bombed if you try to make your own.
If you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on enriched uranium, paying salaries for team of engineers is the easy part.
