That has to do with the aging process and cellular senescence, not anything the Y chromosome is doing. Correlation not causation.
The y chromosome has shrunk over millions of years relative to chimps. That is because chimps need to produce huge amounts of sperm to compete with other males’ sperm inside the vaginas of slutty female chimpanzees. Those genes are on the Y chromosome. Human females are less slutty which allows human males to compete in other ways not encoded on the Y chromosome.
