Yeah, many probably wouldn't get fired for that, but small consolation for a breach.

The very fact it was audited massively reduces the chances it’ll be breached compared to a random JS file that hasn’t been seriously audited. A “please read and tell me the problems” is NOT a security audit.
I was only addressing this part: "and still have a job".

Clearly well audited code is likely safer.

I just don't think that screwing that up will definitely lead to most being fired.

You can’t separate “auditing can reduce chance of breaches” from “using unaudited security critical software when certified alternatives exist can be gross negligence.”
