That does not make sense.
On the other hand, if no-one stops it, there are always incentives to grow your team as much as possible.
As leader this increases your status both in absolute terms (100 vs 10 people under you makes a difference on your CV and on the title you can claim) and in relative terms (your team is larger than the teams of your peers and you can get ahead that way).
And so every leader at every level tries to expand their team.
