What? What even is this
The whole point of a dev environment is so you can catch errors you wouldn't in production. Keeping it as close as possible to production is the point. If you're catching errors in dev, you'll see them in production
More environments don't catch more bugs. What is this corollary? More testing catches more bugs. A dev environment allows free integration testing without act users of production being affected

I believe they edited the post to indicate sarcasm after I saw it which is a relief. I got pretty fired up
How many of the failures caught in dev would have been legitimate problems in production? How about the ones in staging?
If your environments are that different are you even testing the right things?
And if yes, if you need all of those, then why not add a couple more environments? Because more pre-prod environments means more bugs caught in those, right? /s
