Do you consider the rewrite a good decision because it helped increase profits or for other reasons?

Not op but I would say that profits are only one part of the equation. If you have massive profits and you don't put resources in other areas (HR, engineering, etc.) You lose sustainability and might stall and die eventually. It's a tradeoff between long term sustainability and short term money making IMO
