Unfortunately, some people do follow a rule to avoid "punishment" or "being bad" rather than as a devotion. It is partly in how one was raised, and partly someone thing over the course of growing up one desides for him/herself. It is also dependant on how one views God; many see him as a loving father, but there are those who see Him as a vengeful deity. And all sorts of gradients in between.
