Completely understood. There are a lot of codebases and teams that don't use 
all the tools available because of lack of time or expertise in setting them 
up. Many don't even have a CI.

The other side of the argument is that those tools are free and open source. 
Failing to use them in most scenarios is a *choice* (you can't run the Clang 
tools in codebases that Clang doesn't compile, of course). Therefore, those 
who could use them but choose not are responsible for the problems that the 
tools could have caught.
