> The best reason to do great work as much as you can is intrinsic satisfaction you get from that.

Be careful: it can be dangerous to tie your inner satisfaction with your work, which is not under your full control and also what you need to get paid. You can get burnt out.

Sometimes you have to take a step back and say "It is what it is, we all need money, fuck it and let's move ahead."

I think you’ve made a good point but I’d also note that one can have satisfaction and happiness from small(er) bits of work done well in the context of a larger undesirable/burnout/failure situation. And maybe even such outlook can help stave off burnout during difficulty stretches when paired with a somewhat stoic perspective that one is not entirely responsible for the fate of the larger company/team
