I think you answered your own question, for the DOGS there is no benefit. Greed and profit, sadly the motivation behind a vast majority of these so called breeders.

I don't know what's going on these days, when I was a boy anything crossed with anything was a mutt, NOT a designer breed and the people were happy if they found homes for them, payment for one was virtually unheard of.

I can imagine that If the father is the larger of the two breeds that the birth would be complicated if not fatal and caesarians are common place. I don't know this for sure, and am only guessing. Here in Europe the so called "trend" is just starting to take off. Sadly I feel, like most things here, some good some not so, we will follow in the steps of America.
