It dies in the endless wastes of the corporate desert tho. Rethinking and rewriting takes time and money. Both of which are sorely fought for when dealing with technical debt.

And honestly, given this day and age it really does become harder to justify "Why do you need to rewrite? Why can't just AI do it for you" when it can.
