Eh, that's debatable. Usually people don't put the effort in for games that just aren't good, certainly, but there are countless examples of modders taking it upon themselves to fix games that have critical issues that make them borderline unenjoyable without mods. Dark Souls' PC port is one of the more notorious examples of this, where everyone knew the game was good and worth playing, but the PC port was such hot garbage that you pretty much had to install DSFix to make it work. Bonus points where DSFix took less than 24 hours to generate, so it's not like the problems were anything other than laziness on From's part.

That kinda proves my point though the port was shit but people knew the game was good so they worked on it. Meanwhile I can list some bad PC games that never really took off had issues that made them not even average and 99% of them have 0 mods. Most of the time the developer of bad games typically are not great at setting up mod tools anyway so in that case it's a moot issue.

I think most big budget games typically have a pretty good base of a game in most instances though might have some issues on PC, I am mostly commenting on the rando games made by indies that can have wider varying levels of quality. Some indie games like Hades or Slay the Spire are massive achievements but there are 100's of bad indie games when you consider every rando making a game is technically a indie developer for every 1 game like that.
