Up to a point, miners have an incentive to increase transaction delays in order to drive up fees (which they receive).

  Miners can't increase transaction delays in practicality because they need their blocks to propagate to be able to capture the mining fees.

      The miners get the Block Reward without including transactions but they earn extra Transaction Fees for each fee-bearing transaction they include in the block too.
