This is not at all true.

i dont see why the sites care if players win money so long as tons of games are running. winning players are not taking money from the site.
It's not caring "if they win money". Get outside of your perspective a little more. I've clearly stated the question. It's about customer lifecycle, long term revenes, profit margin. Big winners are taking players from the ecosystem, which hurts everyone except, of course, big winners.

the goal should not be to attempt to eliminate winners, but to maximize the amount of games and hands played. sometimes the methods of achieving those goals align, sometimes they dont.
The goal isn't to eliminate winners, that's obviously not possible. The discussed scenario (higher rake, no rakeback, limits on #tables played, possibly killing HUDs if feasible) still allows many players to win. It also is much more beneficial to the casual player, which could result in more games and a better experience for them. It also could be more profitable for the casino (again, more data needed). As I've said, many pros would still play there because suddenly the games are way better. Frankly, given your personal situation, it seems to me you'd potentially be one of the winners in this.
