There's a place for both- you need the devs who care more about adding business value quickly, and you need the devs that lean more towards perfectionism in how it's built.

Too little of the former, and nothing valuable gets done. Too little of the latter, and you end up drowning in technical debt, preventing the business from adapting as quickly as it needs to

In practice, the latter scenario seems rampant, at least IME.

Then the problem is that people who care about business don't want to learn to code. Blame them and tell them to learn to code rather than argue that people who like technical stuff must care about what you care about. In the end there are way more people out there who care about the business side so shouldn't be hard at all to make them the majority.
