That there is no correlation at all between (mobile app) code quality and business success.

Not an anti-correlation: I'm not saying bad code is a good business; I'm saying it's no correlation, that it doesn't make much difference either way.

The worst code you can imagine and then some? Business awards and acolades in one case, business went under in another. Latest design pattern, CI, code review? Too slow for market in one case, strong market position in another.

At some point, I also learned that code quality does not really matter. Product quality has an impact, but not code quality. With AI, it will likely matter even less because code quantity dramatically increases at the expense of quality.

I can see how this can be true for commercial products. Would you say it also applies to open source projects?

You mean non-commercial open source, right? Well, perhaps... I can't say with certainty because I was never involved in one.
