The truth is that the world generally doesn't give a shit about software quality. Developers are expensive and business models shoddy. You have to be quick, otherwise the competition makes the race.

I for my part have given up and go with the flow. Who cares if Hibernate creates a million queries in the background. Hey, it works, so ship it!

Is the health safety and wellness of your user base important to you? "Who cares" matters when your userbase gets fucked over because you didn't.
To us developers, maybe. To our managers? Definitely not. As long as the GDPR fines are cheaper than the alternative, no one will care.
I'm really glad I don't work in a company like that.
