It is not possible to have code deal with the real world on its own. The smartest guy cannot code a system that will handle, say, land title (regardless of what the crypto bros would tell you).

Corner cases (and people) will inevitably fall through the cracks; systems will fail; exceptions will happen, and you need humans to deal with that.

Even Amazon, who've come as close to perfecting supply chain as one could, have an army of customer service agents and generous policies to compensate.
