Nobody thinks its a good idea to fully automate PRs, at least not anyone with software engineering experience. It slows down your ability to solve problems if your code base is an absolute disaster
Again: If someone fully automates everything, what service do they provide? Why are they even there? Especially actively lying in the process when people are trying to force knowledge dissemination with human reviewed PRs
Also, it's not just some subjective value put in human review. If a change causes a major outage and it turns out it's because 5 reviewers were all shirking the company-mandated responsibility of review, and it could trivially have been caught, I would 100% expect those people to get fired. It's not a process issue if people are intentionally circumventing the process.
