I'm not sure what the special blockchain software dubbed coinbase is but what's really happening is
These "builders" handle block formation in a centralized manner (promote front running, block certain address, essentially raising fees (gas) for everyone, etc) for those running validators. One term I've seen is middleware.
So it's arguable that the entire network, including those regular ETH users dubbed as Ethereum outsiders by this article, will benefit from this specific upgrade. Please someone tear my commentary apart.
