Ah see, at my current company I'm employee 2/120 so I have adamantly advocated for this.
It's definitely a hard fucking sell though, nobody outside of the developers wants to invest in maintainability, bug fixing or infrastructure upgrades - you just need to force that shit through with clout. One thing I've found that helps is to try and form a technology steering committee that can try to advocate for the necessary investments. Approaching a problem as a group or talking to your manager about setting aside dedicated time to figure out which issues are most pressing can be quite effective. There is usually a trust barrier to overcome to allocate that time though.
