The thing is, few companies are looking to make "good" software, but profitable software instead.
I would link most software today as the Starbucks or McDonalds of food. Low-ish implementation quality, but reaching as many consumers as possible at the lowest possible cost and time to market and maximum profit. There's few companies that are in the market for 3 star Michelin style software.

I’ve been in the industry for almost 20 years, and been part of startups and worked at FAANGs, but I’ve never experienced a company have that mindset. My experience has been that individual engineers are the ones that have that mindset and if two or more coincidentally get to work on the same project, the strive for excellence flourishes across the team and sometimes beyond. But it’s a very fragile ecosystem that can be disrupted by an eager management.
