They can absolutely afford to hire more.

They will not. Why would high revenue be a reason to hire more?

They look at margins and they want to optimize them, not use better margins as a reason to pursue smaller margins. Small time indie developers and businesses that earn them less than millions a month in fees are not worth their time. They’re solving this by automating more telemetry, not by hiring more junior and senior reviewers. They don’t want to take a loss on small devs.

Only way they change course is via regulations.
