I think you're making a base rate error here. To reconfigure your example, if Palo Alto themselves blocked 1,821 good files for every 2 bad files they caught, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Nobody would buy that product. The company wouldn't exist.
Enterprise security is a game that balances protecting the business against letting people get work done. IT giveth, and SECURITY taketh away. If all you care about is the security part, then you can just turn all the computers off and send everyone home. But nobody actually wants that.
To be clear, the very specific case I'm making is:
1) Against Bandit, at a pretty fundamental level, given the kind of tool it is. On the rare occasions I have to silence mypy, it's because there's a bug in mypy. On the frequent occasions I'd have to silence Bandit, it's because that's the nature of Bandit. Ruff is different.
2) That Palo Alto needs a pretty serious shakeup of its engineering culture. I think we agree on this part.
