Not following this, including why you begin with an estimate of the number of HU pots that get played.
Assuming each player pays time equal to the max rake of a single hand, the table as a whole roughly breaks even after n raked hands, where n is the number of players. The table nets the delta between the total number of raked hands per down and n.
We can quibble over whether that money is evenly distributed between the players, but I think it is hard to argue that anyone is worse off if less total money gets dropped.
I think you'd have to be in a game that is either (a) very slow, or (b) is seeing almost no flops to prefer a rake structure over a time structure.
