Law of diminishing marginal returns would be the answer here.
Companies CAC was greater than LTV and they were spending money because they had to show top line growth to get the money. Now with focus on profitability, companies have done 3 main things-
1. Cut marketing and infrastructure spends to focus on efficiency
2. Fire high paid people and hire people who were fired from other companies at a lower cost
3. Add hidden charges or platform fees to drive up margins

Wrong accounting. Hidden org structures showing one part of the company in profit and others in more losses.
