You live in a fantasy world if you think it's possible to catch 100% of mistakes internally. Even safety critical equipment with many layers of checks fails and kills people every now and then (medical equipment, bridges).
Nice strawman. No one said anything about catching 100% of mistakes internally. But outsourcing that work to unpaid volunteers with zero verification of qualifications is the definition of "passing the buck".
The correct answer is to hire and train up a QA team.
No one said they are unpaid or have zero qualifications either.
