At a former job for a regional bank in South East Asia my boss used to joke that outsourcing is really great for the company, because now they can fail to deliver their software projects for cheaper.
If you sell something in the US, and a customer sues you, going to court and saying you are not accountable because the work was performed by someone in another jurisdiction is not going to go well for you.
The only time that works if you have no assets or presence in the US, or I guess you have an in with the US president.
It is about a.) avoiding criminal liabilities for frauds by the insurance company b.) facilitating desirable fraud by employees while keeping plausible deniality.
It is super hard to build class cast action and suing companies for denied insurance claims is also quite hard - and super expensive. Besides, the current management dont need it to go on forever, they just need it to go on for now. If company gets to pay fine 20 years later and you already pocketed the bonuses and salary, why would you care?

Your average devs are wrong more than the AI is at this point.

This is not about development. This is about rubber stamping insurance denial by an unaccountable system.
