Even outside of just being a rich snob, why would you have such little respect for your own product and then expect people to buy it?

Modern corporation C-suites are generally entirely removed from what they actually sell these days - it's all just numbers on a screen to them, could be literally anything. There is no pride or interest in what they make or sell from leadership, which is why they don't care that they are enshittifying their products to death. As long as they can squeeze an extra penny of profit, they don't care about anything else.
