People do care about quality; it's just that there is wide variation between people's ability to notice, and care about, quality. To put it simply, for a particular work, the amount of people who would notice it's quality and care about that, is small, but not zero. I do notice that the more people have experience with a field, the more they appreciate simple things that work well. As in, their taste matures. Most people on this site do appreciate web design that is free of clutter of gaudy flashy animations and ads, etc. Some people just don't have a sense of taste, and their appreciation for quality might never mature. Also, even when a person appreciates quality, it is not the case that they value it so much in a particular instance that hey would pay more for it. But, in specific instances, yes, they will demand, and maybe pay for, quality
