In an OSS project, you can just provide it as-is without any kind of warranty and clearly tell this in the license.

Maybe you are confusing OSS with actual paid work and paid software (services)?

Of course sometimes the business has OSS components that customers expect to have a certain quality but still... nobody is obliged to work for free, especially if the end user is a for-profit corporation.
