Those megacorps also accumulate endless complexity internally, as does the industry as a whole. It's a problem larger than the discipline of reviewers of C code could ever hope to fix. Even the larger world outside the field is somewhat aware of the the looming complexity problem: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/09/saving-the-world-from-code/540393/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/09/savin... Basically on our current trajectory we will end up with something like the biosphere that can do stuff but too complex to fully understand --- but also probably well more fragile than that?
