RR,
It is also anecdotal to say that high-end service shops turn out quality work.
Which ones do & which ones don't.
It all comes down to pride in workmanship, however, I believe that with piecework, thare will be an incentive to rush through a job to get to the next one, with the natural result being poor quality.
It seems that much sarcasm, hyperbole, and fallacious reasoning is being put forth from those who want to convince others that their own opinions are superior to others.
briselec,
I would suggest the opposite...
I don't think most customers would know whether a switch is grounded, polarity is observed, proper fan boxes are installed,
boxes are over filled , OCPDs are sized properly GFCIs & AFCIs are where needed.
Installations usually require inspections where these things are checked.
