> It's weird because why can't they train the AI to simply output secure code?

The most interesting security bugs have causes that are spread across large codebases, or networks of dependencies.

Training the AI to "output secure code" won't work if it doesn't also have access to the source code of every dependency that it's using... and even then, given current model speeds and prices most developers won't want to wait for an hour on every edit they make while the LLM reasons through all of the dependencies.
