If I were forced to pick, I'd say it was caused by an inexperienced programmer using AI that caused this.
It's never just the developer that's the problem. There should be a system in place to catch obvious bugs like this before they get anywhere near production. So there's something not right in the company's review and testing practices. And a bug like this, if it does sneak through, should be fixed very quickly. This has been up for a while so again there's a problem with the company's processes.
I've met a lot of really shitty developers.
Everyone's shit sometimes (and some people often), which is why you always need non-shitty processes to preempt and/or catch the mistakes.
Everyone is shit sometimes, but some developers are shit all the time. Like, surprisingly so.
