How are you so sure that big corporations will also keep doing code reviews, QA testing, planning. At the current moment, they are laying off a large portion of their workforce, forcing devs to take more and more ownership and even expecting devs to assume the QA testing role. I dont think any software is trustable anymore.

It's all about responsibility. If I pay a company for functional software and it doesn't function, that's on them.

I expect a much greater emphasis on contractual performance and liability now that the customer has even less reason to trust that a vendor is doing the right thing.

Fair point: perhaps the true advantage of long established enterprises and OSS orgs is not the process, which can be considered private implementation detail, but the public track record. Either way, startups don't have that.
