Many managers or higher-up business leaders do not understand the concept of maintenance, which is why it becomes 'technical debt'.
They just expect the existing thing to keep working in the background and more imporantly do the new stuff that is wanted.
It's generally a debt, because engineers are not given time to maintain it properly. Imagine the car never getting to go to a garage to be serviced, because it's needed for driving all the time. There is your debt.
