This degree of vertical integration is missing from any of the AI examples you mentioned.
The example you provided, the QR code generator, presents none of those qualities.
You used multiple AIs from different vendors (according to you: Sonnet and Gemini), a middleman (Aider), to produce a product that is not vertically integrated (uses qrious).
Meanwhile, qemu depends only on a tight set of dependencies (gcc, glib2, everything else optional). They are actually a good case of vertical integration.
In my opinion, you got it all reversed.

Starship is a terrible example. After failing to produce composite materials in house using an automated process, they hired specialized metal workers to do the body in steel, by hand. Again, it favors my line of reasoning that commoditization has many limitations.

You are also drifting away from the subject drastically, again. I have to constantly pull you in and remember you that we're talking about software first.
Not only you left the qemu subject, but now you forgotten that your own qr-generator _that you have chosen to showcase here_ has many of the failures you're now pointing at.
If you're only trying to leave with the last word, you're making it embarassing.
