Do people actually consciously make a judgement about quality of service when they tip??!

I always just mindlessly add 15-20%. So the whole "tipping incentivizes quality of service" argument has always seemed unrealistic to me.

There's a cultural aspect here. When you live in a country where service is included in the price so tips are not expected and are only if you are very rich or had some really extraordinary service, then when you are in a country like the US, you necessarily think about the tip, check prices, and adjust. And because it's how it works in your home country you necessarily make it related to the quality.
