I think we differ in what we consider "justification." It seems to me that you are using the moral judgement of the sacrifice of perfect-pretty-code while I am considering the business-operations evaluation.

For a company which needs teams to implement features independently, the bubble you judge to be negative could indeed be an acceptable, or even necessary, compromise. The business decision to have independent teams might introduce complexity, sure, but within the context of the company's needs and goals, it might be a good choice and thus the added complexity is justified in my view.

The goal of any company is not to generate the most optimized code base. It only needs code that works for its purposes. It's a necessary balance which carries risks and opportunities.
