Regression testing is expensive and exceptionally time consuming if you try to get every cell in the supported matrix. So, shortcuts are taken.
Bug and feature development planning often makes selective tests based on what else “could” be affected by the new code, and you’re probably lucky if they even do that much planning and testing.
More and more it seems that unit tests are all that happens, and maybe a targeted feature test, but only the basics. No integration or user story tests.
