Managers who don't know how to measure what they want settle for wanting what they can measure. Feature delivery is easy to measure, technical debt is hard to measure. Ofcourse, in the long run technical debt affects feature delivery, but people tend to look for causality relationships in the short term. That a decision not to allow refactoring slows down a set of features 6 months later won't be linked in a causality relationship unless proper root cause analysis is done.
