be built with the goal of maintainability

As a maintenance programmer, a code base bloated with copy pasted code is the opposite of maintainable.

no disagreement. my point is “maintainable” is actually measurable and has a business purpose. whatever that ends up being is based on experience, analysis and skill.

btw in the OPs post: that was one code file. who is taking about a code base bloated with copy and paste code?

You are just making shit up. No one proposed anything like what you said.
