There is a related issue of ownership. When human programmers make errors that cost revenue or worse, there is (in theory) a clear chain of accountability. Who do you blame if errors generated by LLMs end up in mission critical software?

I don't think many companies/codebases allow LLMs to autonomously edit code and deploy it, there is still a human in the loop that "prompt > generates > reviews > commits", so it really isn't hard to find someone to blame for those errors, if you happen to work in that kind of blame-filled environment.
Same goes with contractors I suppose, if you end up outsourcing work to a contractor, they do a shitty job but that got shipped anyways, who do you blame? Replace "contractor" with "LLM" and I think the answer remains the same.
