No. It's to further the careers of the researchers.

No. They are mainly publishers and conference organizers, and that's where 
their budget goes.  Research is funded via grants from various 
sources.  Part of the grant money is used to pay for publications, 
conference attendance, etc.  Grants are awarded through a competitive 
process.  Acceptance of  journal articles and conference papers is done 
through a peer review process.
