I worked on the team that originally built Nucleus (which is the system this is proxying to) and we most definitely gave a shit about it.

Systems are complicated and hard to keep in your head. Knowledge doesn't always transfer to other teams. Especially over 15 years. Sometimes you don't realize you've made an error.

Most people are emotionally invested because they spent time and energy to build something and don't want it to be for nothing. Most people like to try to do the right thing.
