The contrast to this is to put in tickets specifically for refactoring and reorganization, but I've rarely seen that work since they often don't have any sweetener included to encourage e.g. product organization to sign off on the work.

Yeah, it's a shame, I often have to do this type of crap in my off time. However, having a well architected app significantly reduces these types of massive undertakings. Doing it right the first time has its advantages. Then again, weighing it against delivering early and other important aspects has its merit too. It's just a double edged sword unfortunately that you often have to walk in this industry.
