Jetbrains can catch those problems, but only if all of the code is in its scope of files. I’m not disagreeeing with you, I’m saying that the “toy problem” of small teams and individuals muddies the water because it seems like a solved problem but isn’t.

For enterprise scale problems it’s difficult to get the full context for a line of code. It could be in a repo you don’t even know about, run by people who you have only met once and never think about.
