Depends - IME yes, lol. Stuff like email campaigns being broken is super hard for the business to detect, as is a lot of random customer facing stuff that doesn't directly drive revenue. Stuff that isn't a total outage and a degradation will often be tolerated or unnoticed for quite a long time til it actually blows up.
My favorite anti-pattern ever that happens here is when you notice a bug that's existed for a long time, you fix it, then some other part of the system that had adapted and expected the behavior over the years breaks because of how they were handling the bug no longer works. Then of course the business comes to you like "why did you break this?"
