They are paid on points and sponsorships and sponsors want to see the team and both drivers placing as high as possible.
If Verstappen had the fastest trap speed you would have said he had the better setup or engine settings and this was the cause of Albon doing poorly?

I don't know how I can say it much differently.
Why give your second driver a significantly different (harder to drive) set up and tyre/pit stop strategy at every race (bar 1 or 2)?
