Much of the enjoyment of the meal is predicated on good service though.
Were the dishes served appropriately together or was one person’s salad served 5 minutes after the others? Were the courses paced appropriately? Were the drinks continually available? Were the main dishes served hot and together?
I don’t need a server asking me every three minutes if everything is okay, but I do need them looking things over and ensuring that the things that would negatively affect any diner’s enjoyment are being silently taken care of.

These issues/questions you posed I have not experienced a noticeable difference in the aggregate across countries.
There are good restaurants and bad restaurants in every country. I've found no correlation between what you've called service and tipping.

I wasn't drawing a connection to tipping. I was responding to your claim that you "want good food" but "don't particularly care about the service". It's impossible to entirely separate those in my opinion.
When I go to a restaurant, I want good food. I don't particuarly care about the service. That's not to say I want the wait staff to spit on me when I eat my delicious meal, but I'm not really looking for people to constantly suck up to me throughout the meal so they can afford rent.
Mainly I think it is cultral differences in perception of quality. The very American "The Customer Is Always Right" attitude of service staff being there to serve the customer's every whim doesnt really translate as much overseas.
