IMO, expansion should be done only when you can add enough teams to make it worthwhile. Adding 2-4 teams to a 30 team league doesn't move the needle.

1) it's a business - making money is part of the point
2) the owners care about the viability of the product (see point 1) and wouldn't agree to expansion if they thought it would be detrimental
3) your last point contradicts your first points: it is easier on the product to expand in small increments. Waiting for a long time and then doing a large expansion can be quite disruptive.
4) what reason do you have to think that it is not needed, or detrimental?
