Great, educational post! A lot of great info about pools and how they work or can work... I was just chatting with my friend yesterday about the advantages that these decentralized pools can bring to some coin... The perfect example is LEO, where the ability to trade with it on Uniswap with ETH, creates a lot of possibilities for arbitrage trading, which again, pumps volume on both exchanges (Uni and LeoDex)... and we all know what means the bigger volume in the eyes of potential investors...

But, it's not just that, incentivizing them gives additional profit to liquidity providers as you said... And someone asked me what's the point of diesel pools if there is no fee? Well, again, I think that not only token CREATORS should create these pools to bring attention to the project, but also big stakeholders can do it... If you are a whale, you want that your investment wins, so, why not do something about that...

I know that it sounds weird, especially when we have people that are big stakeholders in Hive (for example) and they don't want to see higher valued HIVE as it will bring other big fish and "take" their "power"...

So, which point of view sounds crazier? Whales fighting to bring additional value, or killing the project to be a big fish in a small pond? :)

Sorry about the long comment :) :)
