It's not that they don't do penetration testing they just think that by employing devs they are covering themselves without realising that pen testing can be a whole other field, plus it's about costs, do you want to pay x for experienced competent developers that think of all issues or do you want to pay y for cheap devs just out of HTML school that can just about do the job using the internet to write the code? y < x by a magnitude.
