This is a potentially dangerous centralizing force that, if depended upon too much, turns mempool space into a Infura-like cancer. With all that entails.
They're good people, taking a stab at solving a real problem, but this is not a good thing for the network.

This is kind of RBF but much more expensive.
I don't see this as a threat to be honest.

It's also probably a godsend for transactions submitted to mempool at a stupid low fee that are stuck in a mempool purgatory.
I can't see it getting out of hand because if the tx submitter wanted top priority, they would just set their fee accordingly. This seems like more a lifeline to help get improperly submitted transactions across the finish line.

The better answer is for more wallets to support RBF

Yea, this is just good if you're using a shit wallet that doesn't support fees/RBF properly. Or even if a counterparty is sending you coins, and they set way too low of a fee.
This is also nothing new. There have been transaction accelerators for many years. Having as an option in mempool.space is a nice tool to have, imo.

Why would miners do this? Theres a bunch of TX with "high fee" in their node but then mempool.space service gives them a TX with a lower fee and they will include that instead? Why?

its not RBF. RBF requires making a new transaction.
