Quite the opposite! Most of the poor quality is due to excessive complexity, little care for reliability, use of too many libraries and frameworks of questionable quality.
All of this comes from the idea that a developer is paid to write code.
A lot of strong engineers that I met in Amazon and elsewhere would use the minimum amount of code and libraries required and spend as much time reducing complexity and deleting other people code as writing new code.
