This is a reason I’m very keen on making sure tests are focused on requirements rather than code.

A few jobs ago I would often be in a team where the entire team had turned over several times, we would be asked to do large updates to a legacy application or bump lots of dependencies and just not break anything. When pushed the product owner wouldn’t be able to describe what the app was supposed to do, particularly for unusual types of users (the account / user modelling was chaotic so say, several billing accounts per user, each with different products and access levels). At that point “foo calls bar” doesn’t clarify much intent.
