Lockdowns are enforced inaction, so the logic is counterintuitive in that case.

I agree with OP that all the honking horns from automobiles can be a drag, but the manure left from the horses also had some downsides.

The game theory with the EIP1559 changes is that there will be ample space in blocks to put in transactions, and there will (roughly, under normal circumstances) be just enough transactions in the pool to fill each block. So the miner only
