Public services such as power plants, aqueducts, waste disposal and garbage collection require a whole lot of money and manpower yet rarely are even noticed. They just "exist" and "work" until they don't.
A similar thing is also true in many situations. On a big team many people had bugs that eventually got discovered by others. I'm sure it won't work but I often think I wish that when that happened the person that wrote the bug was required to drop everything else and fix the bug along with the appropriate test.
I know that would have issues. What I find though is there isn't a strong enough incentive IMO to not leaving a trail of wreckage. Move fast and break things sucks for all those who have to clean up after and there's no appreciation for the cleanup. There is only appreciation for the new features. And so, bugs get checked in and it's now someone else's problem. Even fixes get checked in with no test so it will likely break again in the future. In other words even the fixers have no incentive.
