Exactly this. Code is a liability, if you can do the same thing with less code you're often better off.

Not if it’s already stable and has been running for years. Legacy doesn’t necessarily mean “need replacement because of technical debt”. I’ve seen lots of people want to replace code that has been running basically bug free for years because “there are better coding styles and practices now”
