Agreed. A big corporation working on products for a prolonged period of time has a different level of consciousness to their work than a single individual.
Take the 737 Max as an example: It's absolutely malice, because the level of incompetency you'd have to have to let a plane into the air that can tilt all the way down by means of a single(!) faulty sensor would disqualify anyone from ever building a plane.
An aviation problem such as that is still comparatively easy for a layman to understand. When it comes to CPU-microarchitectures, I'm not so sure. But I trust they have professionals designing their chips, and my default is to assume they are competent and that malice has occured, and rather they'd have to prove the opposite.
