I agree with you to some extent. I universally tip well (my baseline is at least 25% largely regardless of the circumstances) and I am rewarded because of it due to preferential service. If service in a given situation is objectively terrible, I'll cut that down to 15%, but the service must be absolutely terrible for me to do that (rude and intentionally unhelpful). I will never tip 0% because I have worked in the service industry I tip well because I know that I make ~3-7x what the people in the service industry are making annually and I feel obligated to share the wealth.
