Exactly.

Much of the discourse around this topic has described ideal testing and deployment practise. Maybe it's different in Silicon Valley or investment banks, but for the sorts of companies I work for (telco mostly) things are very far from that ideal.

My view of he industry is one of shocking technical ineptitude from all but a minority of very competent people who actually keep things running... Of management who prioritize short term cost reduction over quality at every opportunity, leading to appalling technical debt and demoralized, over-worked staff who rapidly stop giving a damn about quality, because speaking out about quality problems is penalized.
