I don't know anything about you personally, but my experience with people that argue like you is that they don't understand or don't care about maintainable code at all. So every time someone tries to argue for something like best practices they get shouted down as completely unpractical and out of touch. The problem is that the people doing the shouting is often the ones that produces code at high speed. They are productive while everyone else has to clean up their mess. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but "no one wants to pay" and profitabitity just don't go along very often.
