Zactly. How many times do we hear Walt declare, "I *EARNED* THIS MONEY..!" He struggles with it at first, but then sees the pride in it.
Numerous times the counter-culture Jessie whines for Walt to accept a "good enough" product (chilli pepper). But HOW MANY times times doe we hear Walt admonish that they do their absolute best, insisting they bring CalTech chem to the CAMPER...?
There are LOTS of little hints, but makers trod very lightly.

That goes way back to the first season when Jesse tries to get Tuco to snort some poisoned meth. Tuco is about to sample it when Jesse says it has a bit of chili pepper taste thinking Tuco being Mexican will snort that meth for sure!
But in one of the shows funniest scenes Tuco yells out "I hate chili peppers" and throws the meth aside, so does not die from it. The utter hilarity of Tuco being the only Mexican on earth who doesn't like chili peppers
