"Is there really anything wrong with the fact that some people don't care to achieve anything more than what's required of them at their job?"
It's not an issue as long as your top-tier performance is recognized and rewarded on consistent and equitable basis.
However, we don't live in such perfect world. In a world of stack-ranking and office politics, you will never get top marks year after year, and get compensation that is inline with your contribution.
Slowly, it becomes a mentally toxic environment for high achievers, which is a real shame because I think it's possible for them to co-exist happily.
Chances are though, management itself is also complacent if you have department full of 9/5 ers.
