It's not though. At the very least this really depends on the industry. IME, contrary to how we may feel, there tend to be a lot of other factors that determine eg. whether you will deliver a quality product.
Software quality ends up being a lot like design quality in other engineering fields, but guess what? The same dynamics emerge. You have ivory tower management types and fire fighters.
The fire fighters keep the machines running, and get new programs done. As a consequence they often drill through shit and fuck things up, without documenting.
In a huge number of scenarios this ends up being how the sausage gets made. In the end, reality is FUBAR'd compared with the expectations.
You really miss it when you don't have it, but you're also ignoring a extremely high percentage of the time nobody cares, and people are busy with more important things.
