> Crafting commits is hard if one wants perfect commits and most of us don't have time to do that.

I can agree with the first part, because in my current job we do it. Some more than others, but it's recommended. Throwing some naturally grown git history to review is making the life of the reviewer hard. Doesn't matter whether you belong to those who make a lot of WIP commits because you are paranoid of losing some idea or whether you only commit once when everything is ready, because you are shy of showing your trial and error mess.

Probably you are also correct that most people don't invest the time to do it. That's why there is more bad code on the planet than good. It's hacked together hastily and not reviewed properly because the history is not reviewer-friendly.

I'm sure in some organizations quality work is not tolerated because "we don't have the time".
