That's not inconsistent with "good code will get rewritten until it's not good code." Good code that you need to change is code that can degrade as a result of that change.

Nothing to do with "just changing code because they feel like it".

The good code will be changed after it has ceased to be good code too. And bad code can become good code in the process of changing it.

There is nothing that makes good code more or less likely to change than bad code.
