Why do I always need to rationalize use of proper architecture? (szmer.info)

Why is it so in mobile development that 90% of projects does not have proper architecture, and when there is one, devs complain about it. I don't see it being a case for other technologies of development, only mobile. In mobile the project always has spaghetti code, barely any abstraction it is developed just to be finished as quickly as possible and that's it. And when there is clean architecture introduced, everyone complains. Why is it just a case in mobile development?

Just disclaimer: It is not like the architecture in project is completely new invention, it uses well known principles and approaches

The way I look at this, it's all about incentive.

If the product you're working on is a SaaS product, and the way you design your architecture aren't allowing you to be agile and flexible in order to respond to changing business requirements quickly, you'll lose clients.

OTOH, if you're an outsourced dev working on an internal org's application. Your likely reaction would be: "Who cares? I'm still being paid."

It's all about incentive.
