@bigzaphod@Sandywb@christianselig For the same reason corporations recently copied each other in laying off workers, even though there's lots of evidence that hurts profits in the long term: control and power are more important to capitalists than profits.
If their power grab fails and kills the company/product, then they can go scorched earth and make sure no one else rules or benefits either. If their power grab succeeds, then they have more absolute power. They win either way.
