I guess I didn't bring it up clearly enough, but improving code quality over time hasn't been neglected. There was a lot of maintenance done after release (such as the Redux refactor), and by React terms is only some two or three years behind the cutting edge for most of the code style. Reason for being even that much behind comes from being a separate codebase and the typical continuous lack of dev resources. It will eventually be integrated with the main site's codebase which brings stuff up to most of modern expectations and gives an opportunity to remove the remaining long time debt.
