Yeah, this feeling is ubiquitous among programmers (or 'developers' perhaps), and I suspect it's a large reason why businesspeople are suspicious of "we need to invest time paying down tech debt".

There's a big difference between "this code is horrific and can't be built upon" vs "ugh, this framework is so old, we need to rewrite it in Foo.js".
