Mmmm, less the outright point, more a desired side effect. It helps keep the masses in line if they don't know what's real, but doesn't directly concentrate wealth on the scale they want.
That's a better way of putting the causal chain. That said, ultimately the oligarchs' goal is to "concentrate wealth," so having a reality destroying machine is a really accelerant for that process.
