It increases engagement and that's what the developer wants, especially if there are ads or purchases in the app. So you might hate it but it works.

Is it easy to prove it works?

In the end, the proof is the developer's income. They seem to think it's worth it on average. Of course the average public contains a bunch of people who want to help out that nice Nigerian prince.
