Yes - if that is what you care about. But from what I see not so many people in the world care about "good". They just "want more".
For example, when a customer reports a problem, and I admit that there is a bug and explain a workaround some of them will say: "you have buggy software, bla bla I will use Google". But if you say: "Strange. This might some very strange setup issue - here is the workaround" - no problem.
Of course, some of our customers love honesty but the vertical I'm working in, honesty is not a thing.

Depressing... I know.
