Even absent everything else, sometimes a fad driven rewrite is easier to sell than a fundamentals driven rewrite but you can still revisit all of the key decisions in the process and get a lot of advantages out of it. I've used "microservices" as an argument before now in situations where switching to a microservice architecture for that part of the code was in and of itself not really a significant advantage (though not a significant disadvantage either) but it bought me the opportunity to clean up everything else about that functionality with an extremely good end result that I don't think I could've got without selling the change that way.
