Would you accept the same quality of implementation from a human team?
Yes, clang is famously in this category.
If you copy the clang binary to a random place in your filesystem, it will fail to compile programs that include standard headers.
I've certainly encountered clang & gcc not finding or just not having header files a good couple times. Mostly around cross-compilation, but there was a period of time for which clang++ just completely failed to find any C++ headers on my system.
A compiler that can't magically know how to find headers that don't exist in the expected directory?
Yes, that is the case for pretty much every compiler. I suppose you could build the headers into the binary, but nobody does that.
Consider: content-addressed headers.
