Obviously including fold equity this will be +ev, but once they're actually called they are losing a bunch.
I specified with fold equity...
And again, even if mediocre hands call (KJ/AK/AX, other pp, etc.) between the 4 cards they have 55%+ equity. Risking 2 bi to win 3, need 66%+ equity, but they obviously have that and then some with fold equity especially in some of these other configurations. I believe it's also not uncommon for one of them to be short... So the risk/reward is often better than this.
I don't know why they called though, any thoughts?
