Creator's can't really opt out of BAT afaik, Brave will just hold the BAT in escrow until they make an account. Brave itself doesn't really benefit. Maybe from a value increase in BAT?
I'm not entirely certain how much they seeded to themselves, but I can't imagine much if at all because of the optics.
Whilst it is not ideal, you have to remember that this is a three-step from a previous situation:
1. No one has adblock, security and privacy are deeply compromised
2. 'Everyone' has adblock, ads are blocked, creators make no money
3. Some users start to use BAT, those users now actually pay for content again
