Even if it did make more sense in straight EV terms no one is running that calculation of you're in three business of renting GPUs you'd rent them out either way unless it was a really high probability of success.

An increase in fees wouldn't increase the probability of success it would increase the reward when there was success which is still an extremely low probability event.
