While I agree with the gist of your argument, you should also note that "organizations that hire outside consultancies for urgent issues" is a self-selecting set of orgs with terrible coding practices. There are probably many more such orgs than GP would imagine, but they are not necessarily the norm, even though they are likely to represent the vast majority of what someone working for such a consultancy would see.
