This is not for positive intentions. Instagram audience is getting old (like happened to FB) and they need to undercut platforms like TikTok. So they need to get into the untapped, and very promising, "children market". To do that they'll need to first correct everything that is wrong with instagram including features that helped it grow but now are seen as a negative influende on its users. But my guess is that they already know how to counter it with other "engagement acceleration" (aka addictive) features.
