It's what management rewards.

It is later learned by management that the rubbish is rubbish. But crucially, they do not view bugs as arising from how the work was done. Rather, it is treated as if it is an uncontrollable natural process. 4. Fixing high-profile rubbish is prioritized. 5. The rubbish is smothered with still more rubbish that moves the observable rubbishness to elsewhere in the codebase. 6. You get credit for "better engineering" and "moving fast". Nobody is properly incentivized to prevent rubbish. Only to produce it and then to produce more of it.
