This is the result of competition. When success is measured relative to others, it's forever a moving target. Under this definition of success, self improvement is equally effective as sabotaging another. And as we can see, it's not just businesses sabotaging one another. If a business can get away with sabotaging its own consumers, as it can in the case of a monopoly, a cartel, or regulatory capture, it will.
I kinda get your point, but is there even any competition when it comes to YouTube? Everybody pretty much accepts it's the only viable publicly available online video publishing platform. Who are they even competing with? Twitch and TikTok work in a completely different ways that don't really supplant it. Vimeo and Dailymotion are so small they might as well not exist. Seems like they are still keeping at it even bereft of competition.
