It's en-shititfication because the en- prefix means (among other things) to "cause to be"

So as long as they are making it worse, they are enshitifying it.

Enshittification is the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products such as Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Bandcamp, Reddit, Uber, and Unity. The term was used by writer Cory Doctorow in November 2022

Just because it's observed in the tech industry doesn't mean that it's unique to it.
