You are seriously overestimating the engineering practises at these companies. I have worked in "enterprise security" previously though not at this scale. In a previous life I worked with of the engineering leaders currently at Crowdstrike.
I'll bet you this company has some arbitrary unit test coverage requirements for PRs which developers game be mocking the heck out of dependencies. I am sure they have some vanity sonarqube integration to ensure great "code quality". This likely also went through manual QA.
However I am sure the topic of fuzz testing would not have come up once. These companies sell checkbox compliance, and they themselves develop their software the same way. Checking all the "quality engineering" boxes with very little regards for long term engineering initiatives that would provide real value.
And I am not trying to kick Crowdstrike when they are down. It's the state of any software company run by suits with myopic vision. Their engineering blogs and their codebases are poles apart.
