Wasn't this the point of "real" testing/QA teams filled with SDETs? "Professional testers" were often able to do things like this and enjoyed it. The problem was that testers were often considered lower class and thus had a self-fulfilling prophecy of decreasing talent in most companies until they were eventually cut, but for the orgs that do still have QA teams, the main point is that they bring a fresh set of eyes and are focused on breaking things in ways the designers and engineers couldn't ever think of.
