Why would they ever do this instead of just rolling things out like they are now? What is the incentive to give you anything when they can move faster and just get the same result without it?

Because sometimes when they do these things some users are affected for weeks and leave for competitors, I guess they don't care as long as they don't have to be beholden to stock investors, but eventually that too will matter.

Don't you think that this is a calculated trade-off? You can roll out the A/B testing to 2%, or 10%, or 50%. There are statistics on all this. Individual user feedback is irrelevant.
I'll gladly sign up to be a "Experimental Settings" beta tester (with knobs of how extreme I want to go) for a slight discount (or just bill me the same, just gift me a reset every week? idk whatever).
Doing A/B testing in prod on a frontier model that could really mess with the users in really bad ways is a bad idea.
