I think part of the reason for not caring is that our bosses put unrealistic deadlines on us and force us to get this work done. Going up the ladder, the pressure is put on by the board that wants more profits and all in the short-term.
"Quality" is a lost art. I haven't seen much of it in DECADES. I miss when people actually cared about the quality of products :( Like you pointed out, these days its all about speed and just pushing crap out there.
