On Ethereum's proof of stake network, over 90% of the rewards come from simply attesting correctly to the state of the chain every 7-or-so minutes. Block rewards are a nice little bonus, but effectively irrelevant in terms of rewards in the long run since the block proposer is selected randomly. Sure, controlling more validators improves your chances of being selected for proposing the block, but it's still a random process.
