What bothers me is that they don't even try to succeed. They only want liftoff - they don't seem to care about the ever important orbital aspect

The Soviet N1 rocket never even got past first stage separation, in 4 launches. They got closer every time, but after the 4th stage blew up during main engine cut-off, they canceled the program, and never flew a cosmonaut beyond low-earth orbit.
It's valid (and explained well and often) but counterintuitive.
(And with mundane tasks, it's less applicable, as with them, it's reasonable to expect that when competent people attempt them, they generally get done correctly.)
