The usual argumentation is "I need to make a living" and "if I didn't build it someone else would have done an even worse job, like this at least I could be an activist on the inside and guide the efforts to make it better".
Another method is to stall and sabotage the development via endless bike shedding, language changes, rewrites, refactors. All normal things in every project. Drag those feet.
And the people will be just simply fired for underperforming. Or anything else, it's easy when you have at will employment.

I think I'd have to be working at Google to afford a family and/or mortgage!
Funny, that's indeed their argument, but it's quite easy to point to the billions of people with families and mortgages who don't work at Google.
Of course the Googlers flagged me for touching a nerve, as is par for the course.
I don't have a family or a mortgage.
