As I said, I'd rather see tipping as just a cultural thing where you'd tip whenever and wherever good service was found. Not just for waiters.

I see no problem with genuinely giving extra for hard/good work. But when it becomes culturally required, that's when I have a problem. I shouldn't have to tip, just because you don't get paid enough. I should tip when I feel like you did a good job.

I see it as a "donate" button on a website. You don't have to click it. But you do if you like the website.
