This is a great example of what I'm coming to call "Good Enough is Good Enough". They could have paid more for a "quality" website, but that so called quality wouldn't make any difference to the customer so what does it matter? Is quality you cant see and don't notice even quality at all? If bad code runs is it bad code?

It was dirty cheap and it works. The accountants are running the show now and so long as AI Slop gets the job sufficiently done, thats more than fine with them.

100% this and that’s how is always been.

I don’t know why there’s nostalgia for some era of really good code it just never has existed.
