In my opinion the problem rather is that most managers do not value elegance of the code, and most programmers are either too obedient or too clueless to dissent to management. Also, most team members don't want to understand highly elegant code and its inner beaty.

If management and teams would instead value highly elegant code structures over lots of "spewed out" code lines "that (superficially) implement a feature", I would bet that the problem discussed in the article would be much less of an issue.
