Good code quite frequently comes under fire. Managers explicitly or implicitly pressure developers to cut corners in order to “move fast”. "One defends when his strength is inadequate; he attacks when it is abundant."

My snarky sharkey comment is that people have to first write good code. I think the problem is more that managers don't put enough pressure on devs to write good code, in fact they don't even much care. At worse, I've agreed with my manager when he says "just fix it so the customer is happy and then go back and make it good code." And yes, we are definitely encouraged to go back and make it good code, without any repercussions. In fact, I tend to find it's my peers that pressure themselves into "moving fast" without any direction from management to do so!

You probably are the exception that confirm the rule...
My own experience (and what I have seen around being external in other places) is pretty different to yours.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Your and your managers' solution was also ours, and it was enforced through code ownership. A kludge was allowed in released code, but the code owner would refuse to merge it into the development branch.

On Oct. 25, the science instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope went into safe mode, according to a brief statement released that day. "I'm just a poor old man. My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent."

It's not the Hubble. The universe went dark.

Someone turned out the lights on the movie set?

Glad that didn't happen with the moon landing setting! That would have ruined everything!

My money is on failing power regulation. (No shame! Hubble has lasted way longer than expected!)

It depends on the target market. In industrial production I worked on systems from the '70s still up and running flawlessly.

So.. in another 40 years or so you (someone!) will be in a position to assess whether or not today's systems are just as robust, right?

I legitimately wonder how much is altruism/fear of lawsuits and how much is having a data set so big it becomes useless.

It's not altruism.

Microsoft is adding more predictive capabilities to Office via a set of new capabilities called Context IQ. And now Clippy 2.0. At least Microsoft is recycling.
