>> no one actually cares about building a god damn product

From my experience, that's true for over 90% of the headcount. Everyone talks about quality, about care for customers but rarely that is more than marketing bulshit.

Not realizing there's a big difference in scope and that they could do a lot less work later by doing just a little more now
