This is nothing knew unfortunately.

Working for large corporations I've often notice this :

Either the devs on the project don't have the required experience and will deliver poor quality code creating immediate "legacy" , or either it'll be outsourced to another company with no governance plan to review the code quality creating a "black box".

Because there is very little standard and regulation in software industry about competence, you can have two devs claiming they are "Software Developer" with one able to deliver a full project by himself the and the other not capable of creating a simple web page in HTML.

Hence , I've noticed very little company understand the importance of "tech" , "IS Governance" and investing in their staff in general, they often see "tech" as a constraint like : "We have to do a website for our customers , otherwise we'll loose market share" and not "We have to seize the opportunity to create a platform for our customers, it will drive growth massively"

This is sad , but this is pretty much the standard in corporation these days.
