Is it better to be stiff and on-model

What is good-slow then?
Anpanman is slow but its action actually reads better than Dragon Ball's.

>people prefer quality over mediocrity

you can do both and not have it look objectively dog shit.
see: most anime, or, any western cartoon from before 2010.

What? I never said that. I said that if you look at the entire history of TV animation (Hannah Barbara, DiC, Filmation) then THAT was the standard of TV animation. But we had this tiny pocket of quality somewhere in the 90's that I think made a generation of kids grow up thinking, "This is what TV animation is supposed to look like", so when the quality started to go back down again, people now-a-days think TV animation got worse. But it just went back to normal.
The quality stuff was the rare stuff, it wasn't the standard.

People who grew up on 90's cartoons saw what was possible with animation. The same argument could be made for kids who saw Who Framed Rodger Rabbit and ATLA. When you know what is possible, why settle for what's cheap? Especially when Koreans are being overworked regardless.

Everybody seems to have different ideas about what on-model/off-model really mean.
You can draw "on-model" and still show a great range of motion, physics, perspective and sensible exaggeration.

I think it's because it's hard to berate these studios for not pumping in the money when they're failing really hard because of the streaming wars. However, Netflix, current king of the streams, is making its own modern-day version of ATLA with Kipo (Done by the same studio).
There are times when these studios are still putting in the money for select properties. Nick's Rise of the TMNT is visually great. Disney's Ducktales and Owl House has a lot of moments of good animation. And CN clearly favored a lot of AT and SU with its guest-animated spots. CN was always the lower-budget end of the networks, they rarely put in Nick-tier money for their shows.
