The issue is with non-technical people who see that the hacked together mess of a proof of concept "works" and insist that you can just build straight on top of that without any work to make it into an actual working codebase.
Yeah, that's where the engineer/s need/s to be able to explain things clearly to non-technical stakeholders - which is vital for many other things besides this.
I think our hypothetical company would likely founder on any of a hundred other issues before this one if none of the engineers had this skill.
