this overly cynical take is bad and wrong. c-suite does in fact care about customer satisfaction; it's why you get asked about it in surveys all the time. it's why a game will live or die by the review scores.

while it is true that c-suite behavior does not always align with improving customer satisfaction, that's usually because c-suite is dumb and bad at their jobs.

the enshittification we experience on social media, on the other hand, is due to the fact that we are not their customers. we are the product.

The vast majority of the Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel community has been begging Konami through surveys to remove cards like Maxx "C" from Master Duel's best of 1 format because it's the card that established Master Duel as the "coin flip format".

Guess how much Konami cared. Just because there's a survey doesn't mean that they're looking for any kind of feedback, but for very specific feedback. It's not Konami's balance team that tried to make for a fair game, but the C-suits that want to keep printing cards and keep power creeping, because the target isn't fairness or balance, but it's keeping the players who want to stay competitive swipe their credit cards more often.
