I've been doing this a long time and I've rarely seen a separate team and budget for maintenance.

Except for "all of the original team left and we're just here to keep the lights on."

I think it's important to distinguish between situations where the business intentionally made this decision from ones where it was forced upon them. Because the delusion of thinking we can still go on after we scared off all of the people who made this thing leads to a very different dynamic.
