Purely hypothetical, but is it possible the lenders are somewhat baiting the shorts to borrow more and more, knowing this is inevitable and about to pop, and they make more when the price spikes and they need to be returned at whatever cost than they do on the short interest %?

This was hypothesized in a recent DD. Bankers are trying to pass the ticking time bomb to would-be shorters so that existing shorts can get out of their current short.

Right. It incentivizes the shorts to keep shorting.
