Why invest any time at all?
Your question is worded in a way which I've an hard time parsing, so I
will try to reply as I understand it, let me know if that's not what you
mean
"Why do I think people would want to invest any time on Ubuntu then" is
the question?
In which case I would say the OS and the applications are two different
things...
* Building a distribution,platform,desktop environment,OS is hard, it
does require discipline and work from lot of people collaborating, I
don't think you can "lower the standard" for the base of the system.
Why invest any time at all? Different contributors have different
motivations: it's fun, it's interesting work, they like the result, they
are proud of what they work on, they like the people they are working
with, etc...
* Dealing with applications is another topic, there is no reason we
would need so much coordination, reviews, testing for those. There is no
reason we need to tight them to our release cycle and freezes. We are
not the ones "owning" those apps, upstream are. Those upstream, for
most, don't ask to be part of our project, many don't even run Ubuntu,
they just want their apps to reach users. That's a different world and a
different problem space...
