In fact may be I understand the question wrong at the beginning, what
I understand the question is "If there we can refactoring or unit test
later, why we do this now? May be put more effort to make my code
work" . In my working environment, some of my coworker actually doing
that, however, the result is they haven't write single unit test
before they change their job.

So what my immediate feedback of the question is, if you don't put
these task is an important priority and do this first, then you will
never have time to do that, once you finish the current task and like
to move on to write unit test, the other task will come and the code
missing unit test accumulate and you will not bother to touch that
eventaully.

May be I try to abstract the above but present it in an incorrect
