I don't think RS3 would make enough money to be profitable without TH. OSRS can survive without MTX but that's because their dev team is much smaller.
Aha! This post from Page 2, way way way and years years years back rings the bell.
Now that OSRS has to hire more people and pay influencers to survive, hence they are adopting Partnership in open arms even when it was voted down by the community by a landslide last years. They are even talking about letting people change in game status (not limited to name change) like Leagues resets too.
MTX is definitely needed for a game to survive. This thread fails miserably as times go by and natural selection kicks in.

With the announcement of the upcoming removal of action bar MTX in yesterday's news post, it came across as if they intend to do the same with more than just the action bars, so if you're listening Jagex, how about you remove Treasure Hunter next and "provide great value" by designing the actual gameplay to be fun to play, rather than having the player buy to skip it with TH keys? Cheers in advance!
Update: Bank preset MTX has also been announced to be removed!
https://old.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/kvvylu/mod_mic_just_confirmed_theyre_making_all_bank/
As before, both of these should've been free for all members from the start, but removing them even after all this time is still the right thing to do. Better late than never!
Anyway, with two anti-customer practices removed so far, how about removing the worst one yet next, Treasure Hunter? You should provide great value by designing the gameplay to be fun to play, not something you'd rather pay to skip. Third time's the charm, yes?
Glad to see though that even Jagex agrees with these actions that MTX should be removed, so there's no need to apologize for MTX anymore: they can and should be removed.

They will need to remove Bonds first because it is the most anti-customer pay to win practices in all games that we can buy all the endgame and BiS gear without doing a thing.
Jagex won't remove bonds though. I can live with that because we can all buy bonds with gp we earned from playing RS3. And I am glad that RS3 hasn't added exclusive Partnership benefits like Early Access betas and items that can only be obtained from paying real money for Partnership like Purple Skin.

Bonds are a great way to undercut gold sellers and reduce bots while also fulfilling the demand people have for gold. The issue with bonds however, is it incentivizes jagex producing content that can simply be bought. When's the last time top tier armor was locked behind a quest requirement?
Regardless, TH is still more damaging to the game.

We can't gamble with TH in the Sand Casino but we can do it with bonds.
TH is hardly damaging mainly because vast majority of the prizes aren't tradeable and the very few tradeable ones are dirt cheap comparing to the cost of a TH key.
TH is only "damaging" to people who only cares for XP, but bond is damaging to everybody who are opposed to all kind of pay to win mechanisms, not just pay to get xp.
