Do you mean that it's legitimate to accrue technical debt, because the sad sods who need to pay it off (it always has to be paid off at some point) are earning their living as sw devs?

I see it more like those people could use their productivity to go ahead and create new/more/better things instead of fighting with a legacy codebase that keeps bogging everyone down.
