You are right in the context of software built for ownership but a team, typically in a commercial context.
In other cases, side projects with an emphasis on learning, coding for fun, practicing, or just doing something neat, the clever code can meet other subjective standards for "goodness".
I'm sure most people don't care, but that doesn't make it less true.
