I am not a developer by trade but being technically capable I inherited a system once that I kept running beyond its real lifespan. Eventually it was to be replaced and an outside company was contracted to develop a new system. Despite multiple meetings in which I demonstrated the shortcomings of the current system and the workflow on which it was based, all this company did was replicated the old system in their chosen software stack (which also didn't really work because to old version was relational and theirs was no-sql). I got the impression that they already had an idea of what they were going to create and didn't listen at all. I've since moved on, but I hear the new system is worse than the old system.TL;DR, I have direct experience of: “I don’t really care until we can start coding.”
