Maybe because you already paid $100+ for the room plus 10-15% service charge? It should be up to the hotel to pay the employees (an appropriate amount) and check if the work is done right. It should not be up to the individual, already paying, guests.

Having said that, I usually leave some token of appreciation at the end of a stay, but not much.
