The term for this is 'financialization' and it is endemic across all industries. The assets generated from the core business are used to continue generating money through investments and other financial tools. Even (maybe especially) cultural institutions like museums or even universities fall prey to it.

Because no one wants to invest in a company that has stopped growing and increasing demand and profits. So to have these optics, these companies do this MBA BS to basically hide the fact that they don’t have any other new groundbreaking IP. If you lose investors, your company is basically sunk, even if you have a fantastic core product and dedicated customer base.
