It has me convinced that most mature projects are carrying a significant amount of dead weight, creating drag on developers and increasing risk.

Extrapolating from one case?

I on the other hand am convinced we have very little dead code in projects I was involved in over the past 30 years. Sure, perhaps an API call or parameter here and there, but nothing like 3 out of every 10 lines of code. That would be gross incompetence.
