The prime directive of code made for a company really is to increase profits or decrease costs, though. Most of the time just getting the job done is all that matters. Critical services and spacecraft code are exceptions.

Yes. Which is precisely the root of the problem. Increasing profits and decreasing costs are goals of a company, not of the people who will eventually use the software (internal tools are an exception). The goals of companies and users are only partially aligned (the better your sales&marketing team is, the less they need to be aligned).
