other than avoiding hurting people's feelings. why not? (honestly asking) bad code should be called out. It's reasonable to feel frustrated by bad to terrible decisions that your predecessors made and left you to clean up the cons

raaaarely. you generally have an established codebase of tens of thousands of lines of code that the business is based on... usually with little to no test coverage. Creating a parallel version of the code in the new language would take age
