Here is the answer, around 70% of engineers just don't care, they are just happy to collect the paycheck and go on with their lives. The other 20% are pushed around by business needs, often lingering on burnout, eventually moving to other companies to try better luck and to reclaim peace no matter how short it would be, and often joining those other 70%, or at least stop taking things too seriously. Then there is the last 10% of quality nazis, who totally disregard business reality, and are the cause of stagnation in the companies, as their keep beautifying and overdesignig without delivering anything when it's needed.
