Not entirely related, but there is usually the incentive to at least say this for a new person/team coming on because money. Especially for frontends, the new person/team we talk to when going into an existing project, says that it has to be redone because it's 'not up to standards'. That is not because it's not fine and maybe even beautiful; it makes more money to rewrite it. And job security perhaps too. So when someone says something is garbage, I need to assess the reason why; is it garbage or does the person saying it benefit from a rewrite somehow.
