Theory =/= Practice. We've seen time and time again that simply isn't how things play out consistently. It's largely why we have regulations/oversight.
The reason the "well-trained humans" are in the loop is often due to legally required oversight and safety nets. Plenty of companies do not (or would not if they could get away with it) operate with safeties they should otherwise have in place because the money lost does not outweigh the money gained and no one is forcing their hand. They can putter along and kill or hurt people for an indeterminate amount of time, so long as the consequences stay below a certain threshold to not invite public or governmental scrutiny.
