But now you're asking software people to predict long term costs on processes they don't even control, and it's already notoriously impossible for them to do it in the short term on processes they do.
I don't see how you can expect more than "if we don't do it, we'll eventually have problems." Customers might leave and features will get harder to implement. It all costs money, but how much is very difficult to say.
