Whilst I find that this is definitely a good portion of technical debt, the biggest section I see comes from the intersection of reusing code and moving requirements. Often when some code reuse gets nested (re-using something that is re-using something), then having to tweak it a little at the end to get to the right state. Basically a bunch of development is done towards a local maximum. But looking at it as tech debt can bring it up to a global maximum.
