This is different. Tech debt is a factor of letting things get slowly worse. Those things can be improved if you just work on your tech debt.
What I'm talking about can't be improved or fixed, or higher-ups refuse to improve or fix it. Instead, it has to be completely replaced. It's like a Replicant with a four-year lifespan. You literally know it's going to die in four years, and nobody orders a new one until the old one is practically dead, and everyone has to rush to replace it.
