Hamechabeh V'hamavir (Shabbos 73a)

Why is Hamechabeh before Hamavir? Shouldn't it be the opposite, like Haboneh V'hasosair?

R' Yaakov Kaminetsky, z"l, in his sefer on the gemara, writes that the focus here is not about the benefit for the person, rather it is the benefit for the thing. Hamavir destroys the object, hamechabeh benefits and saves the object. See also Shabbos 106a and Rashi there.
