It actually doesn't matter because you can always rewrite a working product. If you never have a product nothing helps.
In the end, all code is debt. The only thing is whether you earned anything from the debt. If you never earn anything it doesn't matter that you didn't take on that much debt.

Who is going to pay for the rewrite? Is the company profitable enough to do that while maintaining legacy code for current users to use? I'm not saying the only way to develop a product is to get it right the first time, but ideally, organisations shouldn't have to pay for the same product twice.
