  If they were honest and called it a "beat down tech debt day" I would probably be keen for that. I am easily swayed by free pizza, and I love cleaning up hard to understand/bug prone code.

  That's not necessarily bad so long as everyone is honest about it. Often tech debt and bugs don't get fixed because there isn't enough time or they don't generate revenue. But we developers hate tech debt and bugs. Dedicating a chunk of time specifically fixing these issues that we hate can result in good outcomes.
