The short term benefits are the reason they're doing this in the first place.

Immediate revenue and growth is the goal, long term business viability and consumer base is an acceptable sacrifice to meet that goal.

How come it is sustainable when executives or even workers are not even interested in their own product. I know a few devs at some mid sized company and they don't even care about what they are working on

Some people just want the paycheck and that's fine.
