I think the key thing to think about is "what does it buy you". If rigorous testing saves you time and helps you ship it quicker in the long run, that's a great idea. If not, don't do it TBH. That's my view.

People are really bad at thinking long term, that's for sure. The more I learn about different types of software though, the more I realize nothing is absolute. There are always different ways of accomplishing things. E.g. you wouldn't see TDD being done on game engines

Yeah, that's true. People tend to take general concepts like that and use it as justification for whatever. That bugs me a lot.
