The fees from under 1sat/vb tx are negligible, a speck compared to the total reward, not worth it in some cases

What are you comparing the below 1 sat/vByte fees with? With transactions with fees that pay 1 sat/vByte and more or with the block subsidy? If it's with the former, then I agree with you. If it's with the latter, then I don't. As we speak, Jochen Hoenicke's mempool shows 48 vMB of unconfirmed transactions. 0.8 vMB are transactions paying +1 sat/vByte. The rest, which is a huge majority, pays less than that.

Miners don't earn much from the transaction fees alone, especially if compared with the block subsidy. But if we only look at the fees, it's the sub 1 sat/vByte transactions that take up the most space in blocks and those transactions earn miners most of the money they get from blockchain fees.
