To note, I am not sure of the actual cost to run a validator versus the inflation rate. So I will leave this particular question to another more knowledgeable. But to your point, a rational validators would re-adjust the commission with respect to the operational costs. However under the current regime, validators rarely claim priority fees. As such these rewards are idle. By observation, it seems that inflationary rewards are sufficient.
