Why can't LLMs be used for long-term care of a software project?
This seems to be more on the tool-wielder than the tool.
Linux itself is receiving LLM-assisted code (a quick search saying 20% at the moment, although I don't know how accurate that is)

LLM don't care. Humans do, but humans with LLMs are more prone to "drive-by" style of software development or substituting "expensive" ingredient (human time and attention) with "cheap" one (LLM tokens).
One can use LLMs to find vulns and/or review hand-written code, for example. But to answer your question, one doesn't understand code they didn't design nor write themselves.
