The problems are actually not the oversight but the motivation: the point of outsourcing is cost-cutting, not finding equally talented developers elsewhere.

This is especially evident in manufacturing: China can produce extremely sophisticated technology with excellent quality and well thought-out design but that's not what foreign customers look for when outsourcing to China. They want cheap, so they get cheap.

"Oversight" in this case only solves the problem of the quality problems being intentionally hidden initially to get the sale. This might be where the actual parallels with AI models lie: quality of results going down after the initial launch because maintaining the quality is too expensive.
