Not being willing to throw out bad/unused features is a different trap that organizations fall into. The amount of work that goes into, shall we say fortifying the foundations of a particular feature, ideally should be proportional to how much revenue that feature is responsible for. Test code also has to be maintained, and increasing the maintenance burden on something that has its own maintenance burden when customers don't even like it is shortsighted at the very least.
