Which usually falls under increasing revenues. Though I suppose there are user/eyeball driven cultures.

Not if growth requires heavy capital investments. Build then sell.

Revenue is, accounting-wise, orthogonal to capital investment. Hell, many definitions of profit are, too.

I don't see your point. OP suggested all orgs prioritise revenues & profit which isn't always true.
