If someone wants high personal standards then ok, that'll be good for them in the long term. But if we're talking about colleagues that care then that is just a cover for bad management. And fair enough bad management is endemic in the software industry so teams pick up the slack.
But it is management's job to decide on software quality standards and provide feedback to devs. Expecting the developers to be responsible for quality as a baseline is just a path to burnout for those devs; because then they are going to go mad because everyone on the team has different personal standards. The person with the highest standards on the team will never be satisfied.
You can't reasonably expect teammates to cover for bad managers, it is much cleverer to learn to identify good managers and try to work for them. Or become one.
