In fire-fighting situations at least to my experience it is usually about fixing things fast and under stress. Not many devs are interested in doing that. These hotfixers probably know their code sucks, but I don't think they need to feel bad for solving the urgent problems in their own way - in my experience it is not a job that many are that willing to take. Majority like to solve the problems properly in a slow-paced less stressful way.
