Aside from the unit tests pb, suboptimal but easy to test code is critical in a lot of situations, like time critical bug fixes or last minute feature addition on a production site.
Most of the time, testing takes more time than writing the code, so throwing optimality under the bus can be the best choice. If it's Good Enough nobody's going to rewrite, but I wouldn't see it as something inherently negative or shameful, it's just a question of priorities.
