You're still stuck on "the code is bad and that's why they don't want to touch it." I'm saying, their attitude is bad and feel maintenance is beneath them. Every, and I mean every, development shop has some amount of tech debt. But even if the code is generally good quality, you have a subset of devs who think maintenance is below them. That's a bad attitude and people don't want to work with that.
