You're assuming QA reviews won't be fully automated, and triggered from a CI pipeline.

QA is not automatable. QA is about finding the things that you didn't think of and so didn't write a test for it. That many people think qa is not important shows in the bad software we have.

We can assume lots of things, but at some point the rubber must hit the road.

What exactly are you using to back up this claim?
