The deep field images are not a significant fraction of the total scientific output of Hubble.

Nope, they are the icons of the project. Images from the edge of reality.
They significantly impacted how I grew up seeing the universe though, and I’m sure I’m not alone on this.

In that case, you're arguing that a greater fraction of time with scientific instruments should be devoted to publicly consumable results. That's fine; I mostly agree. But that's not the claim under discussion, which is whether we would have much more total scientific impact if we had many more Hubbles.
