Denuvo isn't meant to increase sales as a whole. It's meant to stop people getting access to  a pirated copy of a game when the price of the game is at its highest. Selling a game for £60 on launch is a lot more useful to them in terms of profit and stats than how much they sell it for half price next year. Most games have their highest official player count in the first few months and where most of their profitable sales come from.

Denuvo doesn't change any of that. Again, stopping pirates doesn't necessarily increase sales, so it doesn't matter the "why" they do it.
