In theory it all sounds great and makes total sense but when the company grows to a billion dollar firm and hires engineers to work on the said monolith thats when things breakdown. The founding team was a closet knit team and ensure there is no spaghetti code but the moment you move on from that closely knit group its hard to enforce constraints.

Have worked at multiple companies that started out as a monolith and are still running the monolith in some form or the other while breaking it down into micro services.
