In my experience, I have seen literally 0 devs that are trying to increase miner profits. No one is worried that miners aren't getting paid enough.

The miners control the network, longest chain and all that.

They also have lots of money to pay for devs.

Foolish to think a bunch of open source devs are controlling the protocol in defiance of miners who would rather they do something else.
