Accepting bad code is not mandatory. But reviewing it in order to refuse takes time. And then you have to explain why you refused, which also takes time. Anf you don’t do all of that, people will start saying bad things about your software affecting its reputation.

And the flip side - I know hundreds of projects that require code review that are extremely low quality.

So it seems kind of self evident to me that, to the extent that one cares about high-quality software, code reviews as a required thing are probably irrelevant. They may be useful in certain circumstances, but as a rule, I don't think the actual observables support that at all.

I'd say ... after all it's about people who write AND review a code, and if both parties are not competent enough, then a code review is not a cure ...
