The societal inertia of these networks is the value. It could be both true that the code is terrible and that their are millions of daily users. Just having a better product does not mean you will ge worth more or have more users.
Now is murk correct? Probably not but saying the code is what drives value just isn’t true at this point. If it was just code people would already be gone. It’s the difficulty in moving together that creates a barrier to leave.

If you are just going to build the exact same thing with new code... Then sure but that seems like a dramatic waste of time. I assume if you are going to redo the entire code... Then you'd actually change things and then the users will be annoyed.
