Yep. There's nothing worse that maintaining code that doesn't change, or rarely changes. All that doing nothing because the code works, or works well enough, to avoid anybody noticing it. Yes, that's the classic example of why legacy code is a nightmare to maintain. When I think of maintenance, I think of constantly refactoring things that work.

While I see your point you are missing the point that Parent hits on: Maintenance. Sure if everything was working you wouldn't touch it but if you do need to make changes or add features at some point then having refactored it into something sane and readable makes a lot of sense. I doubt the Parent is suggesting we re-write everything just because it is old.
