If a developer can't afford a really good architect or materials, a building may not get built.

Maybe that quality requirement should be the case? Buildings should be expected to be in good condition 50 years from now, especially the taller ones because they are going to be the most difficult to demolish and there the least like to have that done. You'll have deteriorating buildings with either enormous condo fees that nobody wants move into even they could afford it, or you'll have slum-ghetto squalor as they become increasingly unfit places to live.
