I genuinely think this is not the case. I mean yes, we should assume that every poker site cares primarily about profits, but I think a site like PokerStars still has some decency/some amount scruples that constrain how dirty they're willing to play. E.g., making the reward system entirely opaque so that people have no idea how to calculate effective rake is playing dirty. Making the reward system penalize you for sticking to one format. Making the honeymoon program with 250€ profit and then hiding an achievement near the end that's extremely hard to get (whereas all early ones can be done with at most about an hour of grinding). And so on. There so a ton of examples of super dirty tricks that GG employs, and it genuinely seems to be the case that most other sites aren't willing to go there.

Back in the day iirc PokerStars even had a flat reward structure where you just got points that were equivalent to cents (like 100 were worth 1$). Then they switched to a chest-based reward system with randomization. This would be what I consider a step toward less decency, but at least they still had transparency. It's still nowhere near as cynical as what GGPoker is doing.
