I have inherited many rails codebases and do not share this experience. I have found that often teams end up not using typical conventions and start re-inventing things well before it was necessary.

To be fair, I usually seem to find myself given rails 2.x and 3.x codebases which have sometimes been in production for close to a decade. That is a lot of time to build serious technical debt.
