The risk is purely hypothetical. However both pools made *more* money by mining sub sat txs. They certainly didn't *lose* money.

That's not what your linked posts are complaining about. Both pools have an orphan rate of zero. In fact all pools mining sub sat txs have an orphan rate of zero https://x.com/mononautical/status/1968138304265900433

Wrong. Stale blocks (what the above commenter calls orphan blocks) are very rare, and neither MARA not CKPool have mined any since including sub sat fee rate txs in their blocks. Read the posts you are linking and also see stale blocks here fork.observer
