Because they currently lose money for every token sold. They’re operating at a loss to generate a userbase so that they can monetize later. They’re currently in the pre-enshittification (I still don’t like that word) phase where they want to offer a good product at a loss and lure in customers, not phase 2 where they monetize their userbase.
Of course there’s a technical reason for it, but they have incentive to try and sell even a shitty product.
I don’t think this really addresses my second point.
How does it not? This isn’t a fucking debate. How would artificially bloating the number of tokens they sell not help their bottom line?

and? How do you not understand that more money is better for them even if they’re not in the black, yet?
Two things can be true at once.
