Because modern day companies are broken. They hire engineers whose raison d'être is to "work" and pump out features, regardless if products reach a level of stability and maturity that most would considered finished. The entire ecosystem is busted. Look at Dropbox for example. Steve Jobs famously said that it's a feature not a product. Why do they hire thousands of engineers and keep adding things that no one really wants? Because they can't just fire people and so execs and PMs keep generating fake work until products bloat out of control. What else are they going to do? Are they really going to admit that there isn't anything else left for them to do and get laid off? Never.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who immediately thought of Discord when reading this. If there's a great seamless syncing storage alliterative I'm all ears.
