Companies are often insane. I'm working in one who has this one guy build a super complicated architecture, because he don't know aws. So instead of just using a message queue on aws, he is building Java programs and tons of software and containers to try and send messages in a reliable way. Costs the company huge money, but they don't care, since he is some old timer who has been there for like 10 years and everyone let's him do what he wants.

old timer = being paid little

That doesn't mean he or his fuck ups are free.

A bad architecture means slower development, more bugs, less reliability. All of which cost money.
