Rewriting frequently (reference a) is often out of the hands of the developer because of (reference b) business objectives. Writing code is entirely in the hands of the developer only at the time of writing, not a "henceforth and forever" sort of situation.

It's not their problem once the suits take charge of the product and give a thumbs up. Why bother with future dev maintenance? the suits will pay for that bride when it burns down, and having that happen is 100x more easy than trying to explain good code upkeep that delays business for a few weeks.
