Q: Why do people add "en" in front? Isn't "shittification" just fine?
the original author coined it
en - shit - ify: [commence] + [ordure] + [make]
I guess because it's the start of a long and slow process, that holds the context of it not being as shit before. Whereas without the prefix it suggests a more sudden, decisive and completed act.
enshitification continues

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/en & https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ification#English both combine to make a word that means to add to something making it shitter
Shittification would be to make a shit, you could argue that 'en' means that you make something else shitter I think
