What is "bad software"? It is not software that has bugs. It is software that does not do the right thing. Any amount of money and effort invested in SW quality and process quality is simply wasted if the software does not do what its users need it to do. Now tradition prioritizes quality. Do it the right way, like it always has been done. Tradition is not a good ingredient for software industry. If your motto was write software "like it has always been written" you are missing the boat because there is no need to write the same program again and again. There's no reason to write the same software again - because then you could just use old existing code instead of retyping the same characters again in your editor. Déjà vu. Groundhog day.
