There's a lot of uninformed takes in this thread, but this really takes the cake. There is literally nobody in the Ethereum space who sees MEV as anything other than rent extraction.
Flashbots' mission is for MEV to disappear. They're doing that by making it a more open process and to prevent MEV extraction from making the chain unusable via high gas fees.
Flashbots RPC exists as a feature because private txPools/RPCs are the only way to be absolutely sure your transaction won't have MEV extracted from it. If Flashbots wanted more MEV, they would only allow transactions via Flashbots RPC that cannot be MEV extracted.
By allowing MEV-extractable transactions on Flashbots RPC, they effectively reduce the amount of MEV that is mined.
