This happens in every profession. Some people are lazy, some are shirkers, some thrive on politics, some cheat, some steal credit.
As history shows us looking for shortcuts is a perennial human issue that affects a section of any population.
You are unlikely to be a doctor without going through an intensive educational curriculum and exams over a period of time. You will probably have an idea of what it entails, but laziness or other factors could motivate looking for shortcuts. It would be the same for software or any other field but the level of scrutiny and rigour would vary.
The education system, the interviews, and constant oversight by managers are designed to weed out these issues. No individual employee escapes managerial oversight in the real world so this is an organization problem that gets solved at that level and should ideally not be a concern or worse an excuse for a witch hunt by other employees.
