And what percentage of the software in the world needs to come close to human-quality code? I’d argue the percentage of the whole is VERY low.

The whole point is that if you don't maintain high quality, any software will degrade to the point where the factory breaks. "Human-quality" here isn't quite the right measure because human software factories also bog down in exactly this way.
