It is intentional because these companies are burning through cash to develop it. They need to demonstrate to shareholders that usage of their models are growing to justify the costs.

I personally think capitalism is great and that we should be allowed to invest in companies.

That being said, I also acknowledge that we are in a form of late-stage capitalism that is so deregulated that it no longer serves a purpose that can be compatible with environmental sustainability. We have seen the SEC, EPA, CFPB, FTC, OSHA, etc all defanged and sabotaged over the decades. We also have outright corruption and bribery via corporate PACs and lobbying.

Capitalism works best in a well-regulated environment with a government that actually gives a shit about the environment, consumers, laborers, etc.

They forget that pure capitalism requires a level playing field.
