Weird. In most cases priorities change as the situation demands. The application doesn't matter when it comes to maintainability. Tech debt will take down any application if you keep ignoring maintainability at the expense of just delivering more and more. You sound more like a manager than a developer.
Even their excuses if a “24h only event app” don’t hold water
Even in that case, a business would be wanting to make many of those apps, and this commenter is arguing making a new one from scratch every time over massively simplifying things with quality reusable code.
Even their own example shows how terrible it is an idea to deprioritize code quality/readability.
I guess they are running some kind of shovelware company with constant bluffings.
Maybe, but you can push it really far before the breaking point is reached.
