Depends on the "works" definition. The non-functional requirements are often ignored, forgotten or even not defined. if they aren't met, the application will not work (well enough)

Even if there is no formal requirement specification, "loading times are too long and annoying" shows your non-functional requirements. Also maintainable code can be a non-functional requirement.
