i understand what you are saying, i've been running routing nodes for years now and it is a problem. Before the big capacity growth we all milked big sinks like bitfinex with high fees and then just closed at 1vsat/byte.

on the bright side i've had chans on drains that haven't routed anything in more than a year starting to be active in the last months so if you are positioned in the right spots with growing adoption there might be more bidirectional trafficl

Unidirectional blackholes make no sense on LN

But what I'm saying is that the fees don't matter. Once the liquidity is gone, it's gone. I could raise my fees super high and maybe I'll get to "keep my balanced liquidity" but what I'm basically doing is turning my flow to 0. There's no point in that. And as soon as I change it to something that has flow, the balance is gone again. Fees don't fix that.
