I think most devs don't want to figure it out. Let's face it, working with legacy code is just not fun unless the code is well written (and even then a lot of devs still don't want to touch it because it's "old tech" and doesn't help their resume).

In my own experience, devs aren't often overworked and do have the time to do stuff like this. They just rather not spend the time on it for various reasons. What incentives would get you to work on an old legacy project?
