Because a lot of working code is very bad. Reading other people's code is a good to way calibrate expectations for code quality.

It's ambiguous what you mean there, expectations could be beliefs ("I expect code to be bad generally, so I don't assume anything") or what you'll accept ("I expect code in my system to be good, so I rejected the PR that added that garbage library").
