Engagement is the sinews of war nowadays, the market of attention, and for free to play games this includes mainly player retention, they'll never remove things designed on purpose to keep you playing for as long as possible and keep you coming back. The only disadvantage for FOMO to them is that people might get turned off from starting after having missed a ton of shit, which is why some BP stuff has been returning in any long running live service games.
This is also why everything you hate about modern YT exists: people never comment on sensible videos that don't waste your time unless it's a specific tutorial, they will however comment to talk shit on clickbaity or retarded vids which will push the vid to more people in the algorithm, it's also why you have "key dangling" videos because watch time in proportion to vid length is important.
