I mean, they are employees. If they aren’t working, they will get fired. There work is measured in updates to the apps. They have to keep changing.

This is quite obviously the answer, and UI design isn't a skill like software where your boss can say "If you've finish your work, start a new project." We don't need more UI designs like we need more useful/efficient software.

Imagine If software engineers could get paid to constantly refactor the code and change APIs -- oh, wait, API devs do, for the same reason.
