I refuse to keep quiet unless I can do somebody's work for them.
Framing the whole thing like "saying C isn't cutting it anymore isn't a useful thing to say" is disingenuous.
As professionals we have to keep ourselves to higher standards. Currently I work in a company where the CTO said "screw you all" and forced a rewrite. And you know what? Recently we released the rewrite and it's going better and better each day.
These things do happen. Informed people with political capital to spend do exist.
It's a shame that the industry at large is mostly just comprised of followers.
(As for gradual rewrites, look at this thread. People are getting worked up just by saying the word "Rust". It's very sad but also kinda hilarious observing [supposed] adults act like that.)
