It is already like that for companies whose main business isn't selling software.
Consulting companies, or freelancers, get hired to work on tickets, or do small updates to existing software that is driving business processes, factories, .....
They usually don't have any IT in-house beside a couple of project managers that take care of all external contractors and what they are supposed to do.
It is also quite common in the games industry since it exists, hence why 3D APIs are less relevant as many in FOSS comunity think, there are contractors whose main business is porting titles and they still take less than having bigger teams in-house.
