To most gatekeepers, spaghetti code is "perfectly fine" if no one
complains. And so long as the spaghetti is of their own making, let
newcomers to the code spin their tires trying to modify it.
Incomprehensibility is an excellent, natural defense.
Churn should never be a deterrent; cleanliness is next to godliness.
Any programmer with his salt can see that.
