The name for that is Capitalism. Controlled greed. We put greed to work for us and try not to let it get too far out of hand. It works. It's not perfect. I think our phones without replaceable batteries are an example of it not being perfect. And the quality and variety of our phones are examples of it working.

However, I don't think "just for greed" is a very apt description. Companies make decisions for a lot of reasons and greed is an important one but not the only one. We really do want thin phones and we do want to pay as little as possible for the most phone we can get.
