What’s the incentive of the sender to release the funds before or after receiving what they are paying for?

You overpay into the escrow.

Ah, a bond so I release the funds after receiving what I paid for
I think Robosats is using a bond and 2-of-3 though. If that’s indeed the case, I wonder what their thought process was

Yes they do, and I think it's because it's an earning model for the service provider, and 2-of-2 feels really scary. But it depends on how trusting you are. If you aren't trusting, 2-of-3 is more scary unless you control the "neutral" share (i.e. it is not neutral)
