    Because you are the product. You are cattle in a factory farm. You exist to be consumed by the customer (advertisers and businesses). Your user experience will be actively worsened if makes the experience of the paying customer better. And all the factory farms have figured out that doing this is how they squeeze the maximum amount of profit out of you.

    I guess in summary: it works (the users–cattle–accepts these worse conditions), and so far it is the most effective (profitable) solution.

    It’s like in competitions where suddenly someone discovers a way to consistently get better results, now everyone copies that technique to stay competitive.
