Evolution does not have a strategy. It might very well be that this mating concept will be unsustainable in the future. Or it might be that it doesn’t do enough harm, so there isn’t enough pressure for to lose out.
Extreme example: there are plenty of unsustainable human behaviors that are the norm right now.

Even though being a parent is very expensive, where is their reproductive impulse? I guess it just isn't needed or ever selected for if reproduction happens without it.
