The only common reason that the brakelever will be comming up higher is brake pad wear. If you engage the brakes when you park and then release before you drive, there there will be zero wear. If the mecahnism gets bound upwith rust and corrosion, then the shoes don't retract properly and drag and wear.
So if they need to be adjusted, then they need to be opened up and investigated.
This design goes back to the 60's. I have seen these smae problems with Volvo's. The modern designs with the parking brake activating the rear disk bake is a bit fussy for pad replacement, but does eliminate a lot of prolbems with the parking brake shoes.
If the lever is not coming up higher and the bakre are not holding, then I expect that there is yet another problem to be solved.
Adjusting the P-brake just treats the symptom, not the desease. The dealers like adjusting the P-brake, then they get to later replace the shoes and probably the rotor, which means new pads too.
