You have hit on the reality of life.

Non-coders don't give a rat's behind about the quality of the code --- whatever quality code actually means.

They care about things that work well and don't have a lot of problems.

As a practical matter, that tends to go along with good code, but...

To technicians, code quality is highly subjective. And,sometimes, just weird.
