Very nice post. Indeed code quality definitely matters for readability. There are many more reasons too.
Depending on code quality, adding additional features or even fixing bugs can be anywhere from easy to impossible. I've heard of more than one commercial project that's just not able to make any change at all. So code quality also requires good abstractions and separation of concerns.
Another way I would summarise it is:
Code is written for people to work with, not computers. If it was written for computers we would write in binary. Since code quality benefits humans, do we want it to be good and easy to work with or a mess and difficult to work with?

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
