Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
If engineering owns quality, then engineering own all, up the chain. No need for anything and anybody.
Which is the AI pipe dream, really.
You are, in fact, with using AI, QA or coding or otherwise, externalizing services in hope the services will improve and costs will drop.
Let me know how that goes without HITLs.

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality ...

If engineering owns quality, it ought to also own the liability, too.
That would put the damper on the pipe dream pretty quick. Probably more healthily than any data center ban could ever do.
If engineers were licensed, bonded, and liable, things would go very differently.
