I'm not sure about your experience, but companies which have strong code review practices also have strong controls on the third party code. In terms of review granularity, it makes more sense to be critical of maintenance/readability for code you actually own and maintain. Third party code has a lower bar and should, although I also believe it needs to be reviewed

Yeah I think this is the common case. I think we usually trust that dependency A took a look at their dependency B and C before releasing a new version of A. And even if properly reviewing our bump of A, how often do we check out changes in B and C

Edit: yes for FAANG-ish companies this is usually a bit different, for this reason. And licenses..
