The main problem is that no one gets rewarded for maintenance. You might as well be invisible like facilities staff. The exception may be if it’s something that’s on the verge of breaking the company. Of course, in that case people will note that it was due to the lack of maintenance, but everyone will eventually ignore it again because most companies do not reward maintenance vs creating something new. Google is good example of this culture.
