When source code runs to millions of lines, of course no-one reads all of it.
That said, when we review code in house, patches do get read and that reading does catch issues. Linux kernel patches are also read by their maintainers. So to say code is not read would not be correct.
I'd say using a BE build to catch code errors is waste of time. Better to use code analysers.
