‘All code is a liability’ some code is productive.
Different domains have different jargon. Code doesn’t map very well to finance because the loan is also the productive asset. It’s easy for a deprecated function to exist which literally nothing calls and therefore it provides you zero benefits, but such cruft is still an ongoing cost. Meanwhile that exact same function was critical last week.
