My experience is that "leadership" often finds quality to be expensive and unnecessary overhead.
That's one reason that I stayed at a company that took Quality seriously. It introduced many issues that folks, hereabouts would find unbearable, but they consistently shipped some of the highest-Quality (and expensive) kit in the world.
Quality is not cheap, and it is not easy. It is also not really the path to riches, so it is often actively discouraged by managers.
