The cURL creator cares more about his code than most companies do, I would conjecture; while this is a good reality check, I expect that it will be far more useful in the programming sweatshops responsible for the Domino's website et al.

It's still the wrong tool for the job. The sheer number of things generative AI is used for is embarrassing.

It might be, but if the programmers don't have the experience or knowledge to be able to understand the issues themselves then it may just create a lot of pointless busy work for them. Notice how even when the report was passed on by a human who has a strong incentive to make it look good, it was still 80% false positives.
