I presume it's all done at the direction of upper management at the behest of six sigma black belts. There's no way it could be so consistently poo poo across so many devices unless it was the digital equivalent of the milk aisle - intentional obfuscation of functionality that statistically shows to lead to less profitable outcomes.

I would love to hear from developers actually working on stuff like the food delivery apps on how the process unfolds for deciding on UI redesigns

Some of it is very transparently there to drive ENGAGEMENT etc, but I've always assumed that most of it is UI developers trying to justify their jobs by constantly reinventing the wheel and discovering there's only so many ways to make a wheel before you're just making it lovely on purpose.
