Ok, so let's just pretend for a second "machine learning" solves the problem of determining whether code is good quality or not. Why not sell this as a service to analyzed large codebases for any software company? Don't you think every software organization in the world would pay thousands, if not millions, or dollars to analyze their codebase?

If software organizations cared strongly about "high quality" code, then there wouldn't be so much terrible code and technical debt floating around in the world. Companies care about: 1) Having code that works (for some value of 'works') to solve a problem, and 2) they care about getting that code immediately. They only distantly, indirectly care about code quality as it hinders or helps #1 and #2.
