Strikeouts and XML are fascist.

If the provided explanation is true, why do they not have a CI with a static analyzer to validate their files before each release? What kind of amateur operation are they running?

Agreed. Personally, I think they're lying through their teeth, but even if they're being honest, that doesn't really make them look much better.

Yes! I demand every government informational site have 10 million dollar engineering budget!

Woah why did my taxes go up?

That's hogwash. One can run a CI pipeline with a static analyzer practically for free.

In fact, the operational cost balloons significantly without this step, so the CI tooling makes things cheaper, not more expensive. It is one reason why people use it.
