The key part is that some of those formal verification processes involve automated proof generation. This is exactly what Jonah is talking about:
I don’t know of any computer programs that have been able to prove theorems outside of the class “very routine and not requiring any ideas,” without human assistance (and without being heavily specialized to an individual theorem).
Those who make (semi-)automated proof for a living have a vested interest in making such things as useful as possible. Among other things, this means as automated as possible, and as general as possible. They’re not there yet, but they’re definitely working on it.
