What course of action doesn't come with a cost? Fixing things well is expensive but fixing things poorly is generally more expensive in the long run.

But the point is that what fixing something well means depends on the context. Total software re-writes are rarely a good idea for large production systems, and software isn't special in that regard.

Yeah, but we don't care about preserving the existing large production system, we explicitly want to switch to a different, more appropriate system.
