Very good point. A lot of the bad code I have seen doesn't ship _because_ it is bad. It can't even get through the testing phase because it is full of crashes type thing. Whereas good code usually has a good design that results in _less_ code and development speeds up as you go on. So the end of the project feels like putting cherries on top of a cake instead of trying to balance cherries on stilts.
