I suspect most of them are not like this. But their customer is not you; it's the website manager. And that manager gets promoted not by providing a great user experience but by shoving the company's name into your face as much as possible. (And also by maximizing conversions, ad clicks, and engagement. Oof. Writing that sentence makes me want to throw up.)

It is okay and works as intended. The logical move is to fix the platform, which is obviously broken. Not to blame developers. If you have external rules which motivate people to do more X sacrificing Y, but your goal is more Y, make Y one-liner and only then they will follow Y at their workplaces. On a web scale everything becomes a market and you can’t regulate a market by “don’t do that because it’s bad”. They will never have enough time for that.
