You pay the same fixed Premium fee per month whatever you do with YouTube.

You can quit YouTube for weeks or watch it 22h every day, you still pay the same. Same way you can exclusively watch non monetized streams or only watch top monetized creators, you'll be paying exactly the same.

The only difference will be how much YouTube gets to keep.

This has always been in subscription model, like mobile data plan, or exclusive club membership. I won't argue if it's good or not, just saying it has been a thing for a long time.

Well, the server do not care if the video's creator is paid or not, it still has to store the same data, and you have to pay for it.
