How Does the Burning Mechanism Impact Miner or Validator Revenue?

The burning mechanism reduces miner/validator revenue because the base fee, which constitutes the majority of the transaction cost, is destroyed instead of being collected by them. They only receive the optional 'priority fee' (tip) and the block reward.

This shifts the revenue structure and slightly reduces the total income from fees.
