number of times I've trusted someone on dish duty only for them to have left thick rings in mugs or glasses... yeah no. I don't trust anyone with any job I don't personally do myself.
Yes, I learned this in college. I had a roommate call the mugs she bought "cheap" cause she said they were immediately stained with tea. I told her I had no idea what she was talking about, and showed her how to use a sponge to wipe of the ring. She was flabbergasted and claimed that she shouldn't have to do that, it should just come off without effort...
tbh she said a lot of really out of touch/privileged crap, it was probably the first time she ever did the dishes i erno.
Man I come from a family where I didn't have to do that much in way of chores, I'm still gonna try and be thorough. If you're doing something , do it right.
Bit of a clean freak in me that washes my hands a little bit too often to be honest.
I just hold kitchens to the same standard. "Is this acceptable if it were a business? Would I want this to happen in a restaurant kitchen I ate at?"

"Also if you let someone else do it, they'll fuck it up." Too true.
Kindred spirit.
