To maybe get out of this loop: your entire thesis is that nonfunctional requirements don't matter, which is a silly assertion. Anyone who has done any kind of software development work knows that nonfunctional requirements are important, which is why they exist in the first place.

More often, it’s your responsibility to figure out all those non-functional requirements, like don’t break anything that is currently working. More often, the issue with legacy code is not that you don’t know how to make a change, it’s because you don’t know if and how it will blow up after making it.
