In my experience, project managers care more about how long it's going to take to build than about how maintainable it is. It's literally always the first question they ask:

"How long do you think this will take you?"

I don't believe I've ever heard anyone in management ask, "How maintainable will this be?" I'll ask around. I bet none of my peers have gotten that question either.

Except that normally a new feature does not involve creating a new system. Technical debt significantly impacts velocity of implementing new features in the future.

At least at my current company talking about maintenance is a huge thing given it's not happening right now.
