"But sure you still have the inflationary block generation as rewards."
To be more precise: You are still penalized by dilution/inflation if you dont stake.
1.)If you burn too much the whole pricing and ordering mechanism for operations does not work any more. Burning is only going to lead to big players in mining/staking and consumers making direct side arrangements.
2.) There is less incentive to stake since burning benefits all regardless if you stake or not. Its essentially a stock buyback. But sure you still have the inflationary block generation as rewards.
