Miners are of tertiary importance here (if any). The setting is applied by node runners and affects nodes in the first place.

What use is it to learn about transactions that never get confirmed?
reply
The assumption that a transaction would have never got confirmed is incorrect.

Prove it by showing me a single block whose tail end is composed of transactions paying less than minRelayTxFeerate.

I asked for a block with transactions paying less than the minimum feerate at the tail end, because that would indicate that a miner has actually configured their block template building node with a lower minimum feerate.
Your example transaction has a fee of zero and is the first transaction after the coinbase in the block. That indicates that it was prioritized for inclusion, probably due to out-of-band payment. Blockspace being sold out-of-band does not support your claim.
If you want to convince me otherwise, you can show me a block that fulfills those criteria, especially zero fee transactions are not a good start, though.

I think that the example proved that a "transaction paying less than minRelayTxFeerate" may be confirmed. I don't see what else may need to be proved.
