Presumably, they're pretty good at this. They seem organized and have probably been doing this routine, living from one raid to the next, for as long as Infinite can remember. It makes sense he'd be bored, and that at the leader, his ambitions might outstrip "gather enough junk to prosper for another few months".
He joined Eggman as soon as he realized he'd actually have him, and it's not like he had any alternative. Would you really prefer if he was just "Oh woe is me, I don't WANT to serve Eggman but muh surrogate family is threatened"? That shit is just as old hat. At least being an insane edgelord gives him something unique. Shadow is motivated because of muh past, Fang/Nack is a simple gun-for-hire, Eggman wants to control and perfect the world... Infinite just wants to fuck shit up.
