You could do but it's a pretty risky way to run a business. Obviously the real world often gets in the way, but a competent manager would look at that org structure and say "shouldn't we move some of those smart ppl on to the build team to catch issues before they're in prod? Seems awfully risky waiting until it's live to catch these bugs which could cause us massive financial harm"

From experience, a lot of talent security people really just don’t want to be developers, even if they’re good at it. It’s not always as simple as shuffling people around between teams.
