The benefits of addressing some tech debt can be hard to quantify. An architectural change could enable you to add new integrations or otherwise build new features faster, but you can't always predict the magnitude I'm advance. I agree that some devs can exaggerate the importance of this though. I still think you need to sometimes look at software as requiring some base level of regular maintenance funding, like a fleet of vehicles gets regular cyclic maintenance in any transport company.
