I think this is an interesting question, as it impacts services, decreasing the value of the ecosystem as a whole.

The ideal solution is to have more volume, which would naturally solve this by bankrupting such behavior since other miners would become more profitable, but the ratio of fees to subsidy is still too small.

Volume is incentivized by having low fees but also a reliable network and ecosystem, so there is probably an equilibrium to find.

Another solution would be for miners to orphan empty blocks especially with such a repeated behavior, but that would impact the hashrate, and some would say that it would also impact the decentralization of mining.
