I see two main factors playing a counterproductive role
here:

1) broken window:
There is no incentive for cleaning up. It is a mess.

2) Management produces the behavior not by having wrong standards, but not reward living to these standards.

And speaking of extreme ownership: team problems are mostly management problems. Because the management doesn't own its job.

Of course you could argue that this is fingerpointing and people should be more professional. But why should they, if there is no incentive to do so?

I care, but I totally understand that there are people who don't.
I am self motivating, but there are people who are not. And that's sometimes okay.
