This gave me both a good groan and chuckle.
You're pointing out a place where I think many software engineers are either untrained, unprofessional, or both. There's already a large body of discourse around the problems that come from these practices—licensing violations, security breaches, and stupendously dumb bugs.
Professional rigor is a thing I wish our industry had more of, but in practice you don't see much rigor outside of safety critical applications because there is rarely incentive for it.
