Honest question: why not charge a fee per submission or per review?

Or if the problem is bad papers, a fee that is returned unless it’s a universal strong reject.

Or if you don’t want to miss the best papers, a fee only for resubmitted papers?

Or a fee that is returned if your paper is strong accept?

Or a fee that is returned if your paper is accepted.

There’s some model that has to be fair (not a financial burden to those writing good papers) and will limit the rate of submissions.

Thoughts?
