They'd have the same number of wins and they'd be 1-2 in the Drivers Championship. So there's not enough to gain by changing for what it would cost. It's boring for fans, but for Red Bull they probably prefer this to someone challenging Verstappen.

Until Hamilton actually signs the contract with Mercedes I'll be hoping for him to sign with RB. Also hoping for that are the Drive to Survive producers, because the drama would be epic. It would be a real battle with potentially GOAT on the line.
But you're right that RBR probably doesn't want all the drama, they just want to win and this year Perez has done enough for them to do that.
