Man, you can have a profitable thing and just..have that?
Like if you have the same let's say 20% profit in the world of business is not enough, you want the RATE of your return to go higher even if the product allowed you to stay stupidity rich.
Economically better is a good pair of words that leads to enshittification via greed

Enshittification is only a problem from the point of view of the non-paying user. But the on-paying user has no say in what happens to the app.
As they say, if you are not paying for the product, you are the product.
Enjoying the generosity of other people is fine, but it gives you no right to expect it to last indefinitely.
Another thing destroyed by the infinite growth model
