It is not useless if the code is being run and is doing something productive

It very often is.

Perhaps "useless" was the wrong word the GP used. "valued" may be better.

It's fairly common for very useful/valuable code to be discarded because the engineer (or his management) failed to articulate that value to senior leaders as well as someone else who had inferior code.
