Why would it be a 'nightmare' if they recorded everything down and understand their software, what it does, what it doesn't do, how it operates, etc.?

Database corruption, unexpected bugs, inability to account for new desired behaviors… have you worked on software before?
It seems like your describing more of a problem with the system between the screen and the chair.

e.g. 'inability to account for new desired behaviors' for presumably a core business system, that the business relies on, would almost certainly imply that.

As to your question, it doesn't really matter what my background is, I could be a ballet dancer and would still be able to reason out how businesses operate and how software historically has integrated. It's not some big secret.
