You're absolutely right, assuming we're talking about business/consumer apps and not pacemakers or rocket ships.
An incentive/penalty system for bugs without an incentive/penalty system for features completed leads to paralysis. And a complicated incentive system leads to game playing over productivity.
It's an old saying: be careful what you measure because you'll get a lot more of it.

Have engineers strive to become better engineers by taking courses, attending meetings and publishing content. Quality will fall out of that as a positive side-effect.
