the conflict in interests and priorities that arises when one person or entity (the “agent”) takes actions on behalf of another person or entity (the “principal”)
The owners/investors in the company aren’t the same people doing the yeomen’s work of UX design. Often, these are two entirely separate companies.
if they’re doing it all the time then I doubt it’s detrimental for profitability.
That’s not reliance on Multivariate Testing, that’s dogmatic belief in the infallibility of business management.

Then we can’t speculate on how well they’re compensated or how. They clearly did a stellar job despite the cursed content though.

No. It’s an empirical observation. If a shop near you is doing 80% off all the time and not looking under the weather after a while you start to think they’re doing something clever behind the scenes. No dogmatic belief needed.

If they’re doing 80% off all the time they aren’t doing something clever. They made a decision once a long time ago and haven’t updated their marketing model since.
If you’re just stacking longer and longer click-bait marketing gimmicks on your splash screen, that’s the opposite of “clever”. That’s a business model of slapping the feed bar ten times because you saw it drop a nugget of food the first time.
