What teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are doing is not for international cricket. They are making tailor-made pitches to suit their bowlers, and if everyone follows their example then cricket will rapidly become a game of curators rather than players. In the end, the fans will get bored with watching the same stuff again and again, and they will focus on some other sport. Today West Indies were reduced to 58/8 at one point. They reached a respectable total only due to Gudakesh Motie and Sherfane Rutherford. Sri Lanka is comfortably winning the 2nd ODI also winning this 3 match ODI series against West Indies. They have also won T20 series previously. Curating pitch has always been an issue. Though there are some advantages in each team that may be exploited by curating some aspects of pitch but in overall the pitch is same for both teams. Ideally each team should have both pace and spin bowlers to take advantage of the pitch they are playing in. I don't know how and at what degree the teams you mentioned are changing the pitch but it don't seem to favor Bangladesh as they are not playing good against South Africa in Bangladesh.
