This a very important point, IMO.

If you've got complex hard-to-read code, then you've got power and
job-security. I have met *so many* people in this business who work
like this, consciously or sub-consciously, building their little local
empires.

Whereas, if you've written readable and maintainable code, you may be
surplus to requirements, since someone else can easily take over.

Dang! So that's why I'm not filthy rich! :-)
