Maybe governments just outsourced the work?

Profit motive provides plenty of motivation without government prodding. It's all about making you stare at that device as long as possible so you watch ads or making you send payments for loot boxes. It's just amoral profit seeking behavior.

Not saying there couldn’t be government involvement just that it’s not necessary to explain this stuff.
