Remember Chesterton's Fence.

Here's the trick: Every weird architecture exists for a reason, good or bad. If it looks wrong to a newbie, maybe the newbie misunderstands it, or maybe the business can't afford to build something better (and it's good enough as is), or maybe it really is wrong but the people who built it like it, so what good will come of you you trying to change it? Your newbie ideas only help if the veterans want new ideas and also your newbie ideas are better than their veteran ideas. That's possible but rare.
