Question 1, other teams don't do it because either they build through the draft and hence never find themselves over the cap in the first place, or they don't have the cash on hand to hand out big signing bonuses each season. There's an advantage to being one of the most highly valued franchises in sports. But all teams can do the exact same thing if they chose.

Question 2, cap management does not reflect what they do on the field of play. But it does allow them to keep core players together, even when supposed "experts" say the team will have to break up.
