You're assuming everyone does. I "pay for performance" and my tips will generally bottom out at 10% (I feel a cad not tipping at all, though I shouldn't) and max out at 50% (very, very uncommon and usually requires my creating extra work for the server, such as breaking a glass/ spilling a drink on the floor).

But even then, you're clearly not 100% motivated to "pay for performance". To some degree you are, clearly - but a large part of why you tip is cultural expectations, or you wouldn't be tipping 10% for horrendous service.
Which is fine, I'd never not tip in Canada or the US either, but let's be honest with ourselves - everyone tips because you're culturally expected to tip.
