If they'd cut MTX, it would be a welcome change.
That said, Unity's new model encourages MTX in some ways, as new buys incur new Runtime costs, while MTX purchases from existing customers don't. If anything, this encourages a model where there needs to be an upfront cost to cover the Unity tax, and further in-game purchases to make actual money.
I agree, Unity's aggressive monetisation encourages devs/publishers to do the same. Tbf, the guy behind it all has been quoted saying that anyone who doesn't aggressively monetise their game is an idiot...
