Yeah, sure it's not a job, of course it's a hobbie.

But writing a 200 pages longfic takes time and effort, despite being enjoyable. It sucks being given in return a half assed attempt at fic, obviously written at the last minute. Or better yet, nothing, since some people think there is no obligation behind it, so who cares.

If it sucks, then stop doing it. There are always going to be people who opt to either not put effort into or not do something that's voluntary and that there are no consequences for not completing. And most of the time, they aren't going to have the excuse of a mental illness (or a personal emergency, or something that's even remotely understandable); they're just simply going to have been more interested in doing other things.

Either you write fic because you enjoy doing it, or you write fic because you expect something for it. People who are the latter should get used to disappointment.

I agree with the above anon that there's not much you can do about this if you want to participate in fests. Some people put in more effort than others, and assignments are a crapshoot, so you never know what you'll receive as gift fic. (Not to mention that some people put in plenty of effort and still turn out bad fic.)

Or better yet, nothing, since some people think there is no obligation behind it, so who cares.

This, otoh, you can do something about. Choose fests run by experienced and reliable mods who have a clearly stated pinchhitting policy along the lines of "every participant who turns in a fic on time will receive a fic in return." Still no guarantees on quality, of course, but at least you'll get your gift.
