The inhouse tooling from the massive tech companies is very cool
I agree. I personally know nothing about tooling like this but I went through the tooling used at rockstar for example GTA V and it was very cool to how much they have automated and made tools easier to use.

Made easier to use like in when their codebase was leaked and no one had successfully built a game from it?
in-house tools often encourage making a mess heavily reliant on those tools or working around their limitations, in my experience

People have successfully compiled GTA V if that is what you are saying.
Of course no one would make another game using leaked tools, that would be incredibly stupid.
