This can be reflected in pay not being commensurate with company performance and not stacking up to other employees (sales, management, etc.) and gives the engineers no reason to pay attention to ROI in their decisions. I would bet that in companies where engineering is very much involved with cost, ROI, and paid based on how those numbers turn out, the engineers would focus less on edge cases and know when to draw the line.
