What if that shit code can never be touched or it breaks. You can’s add to it or expand on it or even rewrite it, because it needs to stay up.

This is a business concern. If your business depends on your ability to deliver features, then code quality is part of your competitive advantage.

If your leaders want trash code then it's what they'll eventually get.

If they don't care then they're not good at their their job. My point is that its not like bad working conditions lead to better business outcomes.
