There is a name for it: "enshitification" is the strategy of maximizing short term gains, even if that results in product suicide on the long run.

Trimble bought Sketchup 14 years ago. In the world of commercial software, that's a decent run and they seem to be going strong. They just aren't interested in the nickel-and-dime world of selling to and dealing with consumers.
