For sure. I would say though, I have been a developer joining teams that don't practice TDD or just good testing in any form and have succeeded in convincing the team to try it out. More than one team and almost without exception it has been worth it. It has just been really hard.
TDD is only a tiny aspect of the whole software life but its one that we as developers have more power to influence if we wish to.
There are loads of scenarios where TDD doesn't make sense. I am doing work on a small startup right now, prototyping. I do TDD parts that are critical or I want to design well but don't bother with much of it since it's a prototype.
It is great when you arrive at a company that is doing TDD already bit if you don't get that lucky, there is hope :) Really true comment you made though.
