Plus they usually get no financial compensation for the extra work of making things work well.

There's a minimum quality level required to not get fired, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what most employees deliver.

Of course, why go through the troubles of putting in the extra hours, if there is no financial compensation or appreciation?

Personally, I would just optimize stuff or propose new features for a product if I would learn something/gain experience out of it.
