I think it's the resale factor that alot of people seem to be missing, The data used would appear in scouting databases that are traded and sold, this could have a rather large impact on your career trajectory behind the scenes.
Thats before you factor in the videogame market. While i understand this is just about getting more money I would find it weird if the number of points I achieved every sprint was tracked and shared but hey I guess thats just the industry.

You're looking at a country of a billion people, not only that this increase wasn't hoarded like it in the west it was government directed and shared out among most of the people in the country.

Those aren't good interface ideas those are features that alot of trial and error and research went into.
Think of it like a new drug. Theres alot of R&D poured into these things. not on the same regulatory or financial scale but work goes into that. Facebook blocks the growth of these by copying wholesale and throwing it at its database of users so they never have to leave their ecosystem.
Look at what instagram has become from photosharing app to an everything platform that has a horrible UX.

Facebook stole pretty much wholesale, Stories from Snap, The timeline from Twitter, and now reels is its Tiktok clone. They've recently introduced "rooms" which is its theft of Houseparty not Zoom which everyone thought.
Facebook is a horrible company which hasn't come up with and original idea in years. It now uses its "sign in with facebook" button to see which apps people are using before copying them completely and leveraging its social graph. At this point its a parasite on the web that stalls innovation.
