It's the age old model of tech companies ... which basically follows the old model of companies before the modern tech and digital age .... once you heavily monetize any product or service, the product or service eventually becomes secondary to the main goal of making as much money as possible.

Companies haven't changed no matter how technological and modern they are ..... we still want to do the OOGA BOOGA thing of ... "take thing, make money, who cares what thing does"
