I have seen that kind of thing a few different places and I just plain decline to believe that it isn't done with knowledge.

Active items that are already clickable that change location as a page loads drive me nuts, but these particularly convenient examples add another dimension to that.

My banking app does that when doing a transfer, i.e new field appear depending on a receiver. It catches me off-guard every single time. Infuriating.

If it makes money, it was intentional

It might not be done with malice aforethought, so much as wilful ignorance; blind pursuit of metrics combined with a lack of any incentive to challenge the assumption that all clicks are intentional.
