No, but not relevant.

What is the point of working at a startup if you’re dealing with millions of lines of legacy code ? Isn’t the whole point of startups to create & innovate with a clean slate and modern tools?

No, actually. The point is to build a profitable business.

I don't know if that's the whole point, but I agree with the sentiment, why would a startup be working in legacy code and where would that code come from if this is truly the start of something.

OP might just be working at a small software company or for one that broke from a bigger one and is now "startup" like?
