Food is ultraprocessed to make it cheaper, more palatable, or both. So while the definitions are orthogonal the goals align.

I agree that many hyperpalatable foods are ultraprocessed so that they can be made more cheaply, but I don't think that's reason enough to say that the, uh, process of processing foods is entirely aligned with the concept of hyperpalatability.

It also be processed to remove ingredients that can be sold at a higher price when used in another way.
