Well put. I would love to read some case studies on orgs that recovered from bad tech debt. Does anything like that even exist?

Genuine talent tends to recognize and avoid these types of orgs, and the vicious downward cycle you describe seems unstoppable, at least in my experience.

Kill It With Fire by Marianne Bellotti is pretty much exactly about that, and is a great read.
