How does that even work? When you push code for a back door it's going to still go through a code review so it's not exactly going to be secret, right?

Yep and then you get fired but atleast you won't go to jail

My point is that any dev team worth anything has it set up so that it isn't possible to merge changes into master unless someone else approves. So it's more like it isn't possible in most cases, not "you should do the right thing".
