This might be a dumb question but if most of the ETH gas fee is burned, why not just decrease the gas fees? Is it really just to make ETH deflationary, at the expense of the cost to use the chain? Doesn’t that disincentivize usage?

Gas is fundamentally spam protection. It can only protect against spam if the cost exists. Decreasing that cost implies to enable more spam as an input to the system whereas burn is a neutral output for work executed.
