I agree with you, I hate that so many places are like this. It really isn't right, and rewards the wrong behaviours. From my own perspective I have been lucky for the most part in having had good managers/team leads even in organisations where this culture pervades. It's taught me to be wary though and "manage upwards" until I feel confident my own direct manager appreciates and recognises my input. Raising awareness with my manager's manager is harder: still working on that, I suspect and element of "HELLO HERE I AM FIXING STUFF, IT'S QUITE LATE, BEEN DOING IT FOR A WHILE NOW, OK THEN GLAD WE'VE CONFIRMED WE ALL KNOW THIS" is still needed!
