I was added to a team because, to quote the VP, "they're good but they need some adult supervision"

Well, money. Why would someone even want to join any team?

Theoretically a company that's making $20m/year on this can afford to make it worth someone's while to come in and fix it. The problem isn't finding someone who will do it, it's that the company assumes they can continue to get by indefinitely on paying too little.

For the love of refactoring.
