Say you work on an OS like MacOS, iOS, Android, Windows. tens of thousands of tests need to be written so that you know that updating the OS doesn't break all of your users. Writing those tests, managing the infrastructure to run them all on the various hardware, tracking all of that etc is a huge amount of work. Few people would be self motivated to do it for fun.
