Many of us have asked themselves that and the answer is clear: we want something that will truly last.

But short-term interests go explicitly AGAINST that. If I start demanding +20% more time to deliver quality the company will likely start a campaign to replace me in 3-6 months.

From one age (or burnout quantity) we prioritize stability. Ironically it's only then when we can truly provide the good quality but by that time we're much more risk-averse.
