Or it's basically the ultimate example of Conspicuous Consumption, as such demons are literally eating money. I think there was a similar effect in South America, where cacao beans were used as currency, and the upper crust outright consumed said currency as chocolate (typically drinking rather than eating, but the same effect). So lesser demons typically just use souls as currency, but the higher-ranked ones can afford to eat them as a delicacy.
