Why can't these billion-dollar companies create a consortium to make a systematic audit of such code from start to finish? They'd all benefit enormously.

The same reason they are using crap software in the first place. Big business is like overfed government agencies extremely incompetent and inefficient.
"they are using crap software in the first place" How would you know? I bet it must of been a time consuming audit to reach your startling conclusion. When can we expect your roll out of non-crap software? Since you claimed the software is crap you must have the innate knowledge and experience to fix the problem. Or maybe you are just a wannabe software guru talking out his ass.
"extremely incompetent and inefficient" This statement perfectly describes today's generation of morons who think being able to use F

"extremely incompetent and inefficient" This statement perfectly describes today's generation of morons who think being able to use Facebook and Twitter is a technical skill. The same morons who think all the problems in the world can be solved 140 characters at a time. And since governments and corporations are staffed by human beings they end up being extremely incompetent and inefficient.
As a software engineer with over 30 years experience.... they probably ARE using crap software. I cannot tell you how many (and it has been many) companies I have been brought into just to fix crap software that they were running and, whoa! just now discovered that it was crap software. The ancient adage is true: It's always cheaper to do over than do correctly the first time. And, NO, Agile does NOT solve that problem either.
