MARA was doing OFAC and their blocks were getting orphaned. Which is why they eventually were forced to capitulate. It's not about fees but about timing of other blocks being mined. It's wasn't 100% of the time, but enough to hurt their profits. Yes they were concensus valid, but nobody else was doing OFAC, nor does anyone want to. Why do you even care about OFAC?
