Imo analysis needs domain knowledge, the developer can do it on their own but it won't be as good as when a domain expert does. A developer doing their own QA will have the same blind spots as during development. And of course, if he was also doing the analysis, he'll have the same blind spots as during analysis.

Yes, waterfall is a team activity, as all software is necessarily a social service. Developers that fail to understand this - or indeed, resist it as part of their cultural identity - usually get taught this lesson hard in the form of failed projects.
Its not "Agiles" fault, although this is often used to justify the failure.
Developers have got to realize that they are responsible for the full workflow from beginning to end, and only poor/low-quality developers will work to change that natural law - with negative effect.
