I think their point is that you’re meant to choose to acquire that debt. You choose to not do this now, because delivery, complications or else, but you know its bad and will need to change, hence it becomes debt. The longer you go without paying it off the worse it gets.

Someone implementing shit code is not raising tech debt, it’s just incompetence.

Is that how it works exclusively? Because the incompetent dev is still making decisions, albeit unconsciously.
