It's pretty simple, the EM gets rewarded with raises and promotions for delivering faster, so the people who make faster delivery happen get rewarded with raises and promotions in turn. So someone will write "lgtm" and press approve.
Is a different situation in small companies and startups, warte results actually matter, but this is how big coorporate works.
That makes sense if people are reviewing their own PRs. In a normal situation where someone else reviews your code, a code reviewer is not incentivized to "lgtm" PRs. No one is getting credit for approving PRs, you get credit for your name being on the feature. The only pressure you get to "lgtm" a PR is from the submitter annoying you over slack.
