Thats also not applicable in a business setting. If you have multi million line codebase, you simply cant refactor within reasonable time. Also refactoring can cause issues wich then need further fixing and refactoring. If I touch code that I am not supposed to touch or that does not relate to my direct task I will have HR talks. I'd be lucky to not get laid off for working on things that do not relate to my current task.

The Linux kernel is a multi-million line codebase, and refactoring still happens when needed. Let's not extrapolate from your limited data points as if they are representative for all codebases.
