How long has your startup been around? I’ve worked at plenty of startups over the past 20 years. Including one that was still calling themselves a startup 10 years out. The org I work at now was a startup before my tech giant employer acquired them. We have a very bloated and very profitable 8 year old codebase that is barely 500k LOC.
I’ve never seen a startup with a multi million line legacy codebase.
In response to a question about a legacy codebase at a startup. That implies that they think whatever they are doing is common. And forking a multi million line codebase and heavily developing it isn’t common for startups.

They may have forked something
Definitely possible, but up thread they wrote:
