>> I don't know why devs and designers at these companies don't fix this

Because they are not in charge.

The product/ad/business team could "fix" this, and then what would happen is they'd layoff some folks (usually editorial side) a few months later as the revenue drop hits home.

I doubt the product/ad/business team sees any benefit when page content shifts around and Google downranks the site for it.
