But then no one adds an app for a few months, during which the requirements change but the script isn't updated. Then it fails and someone who wasn't there when it was written is off in the weeds trying to sherlock the reason this thing exists in the first place and how to update it, making their minor change seem much larger & riskier to reviewers. Or worse it doesn't fail, but the incomplete run introduces a defect no one is looking for.
You simply can't make judgements about what should be done to a codebase from a distance in the abstract like this. Sometimes you should write the script, sometimes you shouldn't. You need specific knowledge of the circumstances to exercise good judgement about it which we certainly don't have from this comment section.
