Because it's terrible for society. When a business like the nicotine industry takes advantage of primal impulses to a dangerous extent they pay. The same should be said for something causing societal catastrophe.
Maximizing engagement is what every successful novel, film, TV show, song, sport and video game does. Why should social media be any different?

What’s tricky is that well-being through engagement may be inversely correlated by daily minutes spent. Users may get value from using a service daily, but not want to overspend time with clickbait. Interesting data here:https://www.humanetech.com/app-ratings

Not really. In a subscription model it does not matter how much time people spend on a given channel. As long as they subscribe things are fine.

I believe the differentiation is a valid concern. The amount and the extension of personal, even behavioral information that is generated by the dynamics of this new kind of customized digital engagement changes the game significantly and at least demands a bit more of reflection

The tools available to social media are much stronger than novels, films and the other things you mentioned. The amount of engagement that social media tools can create is harmful for society at large. Similar to why we protect children from playing video games all day.
