You own a poker site - let's call it Shitean.

Your players are predominately lured in by the plethora of freerolls.

Therefore - your players are predominately below average when they migrate to pay games.

Which means - Poker sharks are attracted to feast on the fish.

The fish get destroyed and stop playing pay games.

The sharks go elsewhere when their food supply dries up.

BUT..........

If you skew the cards to benefit short stacked players......

Poor players will stick around longer, because they will lose money slower and be more likely to re-deposit.

Poker sharks will either despair of bad beats and leave (prolonging the lifespan of the fish) or will stick it out and win less.

As I said, Devil's Advocate, but they haven't got nothing to gain from rigging games in my opinion. You have to bear in mind, there is a finite pool of players, VERY mobile customer base, and a saturated and easy to enter market place.
