The recent twitter whistleblower revelations showed just how many coders have access to live data and code at one time.https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/13/twitter-whistleblower-mudge-congress/
So you have complex systems interacting with one another with no one engineer understanding how the systems work. It's possible that the engineers involved had no idea of the vulnerability when they wrote the code.
