You’re right - eventually the numbers do go down, but if you look at any successful startup, startup incubator, or Silicon Valley VC, they’ll stress the importance of picking one key metric and pushing it up and to the right WEEKLY at all costs.
measuring the success of your business isn't some magical silicon valley invention, people have been doing it since the dawn of commerce endless growth for the sake of growth e.g stock market, venture capital, is counter to innovation + always ends in exploitation of real people
