You make excellent points - seems to me it's a case of not mentioning what your world looks like. It seems to me a lot of our development arguments online boil down to different experiences.
If all your colleagues write good, buff y free code, tests aren't that important, neither is clean code.
If your colleagues don't know what a function is, and development is buggy and takes ages, then it's super useful.
That's why I love the talk "The hidden assumption of agile" by Fred George.
Agile is built on clean code, but nobody bothered to say it at the time because they all wrote clean code by default.
