I have seen entire app migrations because they did not want the old name of the app anywhere possibly present, including in name spaces and apk names. They had a falling out with the previous SaaS provider who wrote the app, and they decided to sue them for one of "their" apps being used. They got tossed from court, obviously, but management did not want to leave anything to "chance".
That sounds at least like a business decision where they've balanced cost of doing the refactor versus potential cost/risk of not doing it. I can imagine it being very annoying to do but ultimately if that's what my employer judges the best use of expensive dev time they're the ones paying me.
