A tiny minority of places I've worked do code review for every commit. Or have careful enough processes that they would catch every mistake made by incompetent engineers.

Most companies simply trust their employees most of the time. Hardening a process against programmers you don't trust has a massive cost.

In the past three jobs I have had, over 13 years, all changes were code reviewed before merge. I don't know the industry's general stance on this, but I wanted to describe my experience here which is very different from yours.
