I don't really understand the late, and final round offers.

Why does the cut-off usually rise? Isn't it assumed that the majority of student who receive a UAI that meets the cut-off, immediately receives a main round offer?

Therefore, shouldn't the cut-off be lower in the late, and final rounds, giving those with a lower UAI a better opportunity?

It's still based on supply and demand u see.
From the main round, ppl change their preferences, and since the course offering vacanicies has only a limited amount of places left, theres more ppl competing for less places, therefore the UAI cutoff would tend to increase -
eg. 5 places, and 1000 ppl apply, that means the person with the 5th highest UAI out of those 1000 ppl becomes the cutoff
