Tech debt is like a hole in your roof that many teams don't start trying to fix until water is flooding in. Companies missing the business value in addressing tech debt leads to perverse incentives for developers where they are encouraged to cram new features into the product and then leave for another job in 2-3 years before the consequences come knocking.
And the replacement people all just assume that we're supposed to be up to our waists in water.
Fixing? We just moved to the kitchen!
