The primary product of these enshitified companies is a perpetually rising stock price. Beyond a certain size it becomes more profitable to play bureaucratic, legal, financial, and other corporate games at the expense of the nominal service that's being sold.

They're a bizarre economic phenomenon. They basically sell casino chips (stocks) and use bureaucracy (friction and complexity), PR (lies), and intimidation to goose their value.
