It's not so much vanity scheduling, it's more like there's a complication (like pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes) which means they know they're going to schedule a c-section before the due date. In the past, the risks of a c-section had to be balanced with the risk of the condition, but they've gotten extremely good at minimizing the risks of c-sections these days, so pretty much anyone with a risky pregnancy condition is told to get one. Plus, multiple births are going up, and those are assumed to be c-sections these days too.
