A lot of people are speculating that Russia intentionally allowed this to keep going because it's forcing Ukraine to divert valuable resources from Pokrovsk where the lines are collapsing. The incursion has been contained at this point, but Ukraine can't just pull back due to political reasons. So, now they're stuck having to continue feeding troops and resources into Kursk while the front in the east crumbles.
In other words, "Krynki 2 - explosive boogaloo"

Indeed, that's exactly what this is.
"Don't interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake" Sun Tzu or somebody.
Well the political damage was already done, might as well let Ukraine overextend and easily destroy a lot of the best equipment they have.
I think it's a mixture of logistics complications with being able to just send a mass of troops over there and the area's overall lack of importance which makes Russia fine with taking it back at a pace they see fit.
