It could. But, there’s more layers to this swiss cheese model of safety. For example, the lineman’s procedure is to ground out, then isolate, then test and to ground out. They’d need to skip both ground out and test to be electrocuted by an asshole with a generator.

Of course, but we should never be advocating for the elimination of slices. Don’t use the suicide plug, get it wired up correctly with isolation.

What if the generator was connected after the lineman’s test?

Then ground out bypasses the body.
