I think everyone has time for it, but it requires nerves of steel. You are thinking "I could just fix this the easy way", you are feeling social pressure to quickly get to the next thing. It's easy to decide "I can't take the time to really figure this out."
But if you can ignore the pressure and stick to your guns, you end up saving time in the long run, sometimes making orders of magnitude more work possible. Most managers should appreciate that.
But it's difficult to have the nerve to do it, and it can be difficult to explain in the short term. Like most opportunities there's a cost to pay up front.
Would that we as a profession developed an encyclopedia of ways of pushing back on "Is it done yet? How much longer?" completion pressure. There's certainly a profusion of lore about PFYs and lusers, why not structural business frustrations?
Well...yeah...that's kind of the whole basis of 'requirements elicitation', to understand what your client is trying to accomplish on such a level that they don't need to give you a list of tasks, you create the tasks that will accomplish want they need the system to do.
depends on what you consider your job to be, right?
for all I know, historically there must have been a lot of masons asking the same question when stacking bricks: "people have time to do that while building a wall? to carefully put mortar between the bricks??"
but nobody remembers those masons because all their walls have fallen apart by now.
("... wait seriously, even the inner walls?? but the boss never checks those anyway")
