>No one owns that at a cognitive level
Notwithstanding the fact that compilers did not fall out of the sky and very much have people that own them at the cognitive level, I think this is still a different situation.
With a compiler you can expect a more or less one to one translation between source code and the operation of the resulting binary with some optimizations. When some compiler optimization causes undesired behavior, this too is a very difficult problem to solve.
Intentionally 10xing this type of problem by introducing a fuzzy translation between human language and source code then 1000xing it by repeating it all over the codebase just seems like a bad decision.
