It's really good point. I usually use this analogy in the context of unit tests. Everyone understands that the review process for a nuclear power generation site shouldn't be same as foot-bridge over a stream on a trail. However, this basic common sense is missing in all these clean code, TDD, unit tests etc. conversation. I've seen a startup where the front-end is a very simple web-site (just some basic forms, charts and tables). But the team follows all the clean-code, TDD, unit test and whatever latest buzzword you can think of. It takes one front end developer to sort a list alphabetically more than a day, which probably takes a decent developer less than 10 minutes to finish. IMO, the whole clean-code seminars/books industrial complex if responsbile for the amount of time, effort and money wasted following these clean code trends without any real business value.
