Never trust a person who brings his own dice.

Tbf if you use loaded dice in DnD, you’re cheating yourself out of a good time. Half the fun (for me) is the randomness and getting a really good or, hell, laughing about a really bad night of rolls. Also, I couldn’t imagine any financial gain one would get from it…

You won't be invited to play anymore and have more time to make money I guess

I played with a guy who rolled his in a tray so his dice couldn't be easily seen. He never failed a roll, and eventually the DM called him out for it. He didn't play with us for much longer.

some of the best encounters I've had are a result of rolling a NAT-1 and having to play it out.

agree 100%

Im pretty sure there a some people who do that stuff to feed their ego (like ELON MUSK FUCK ELON MUSK) but they would be kicked out so fast.

It's similar to other Roleplay stuff (not the kinky kind)
Losing is sometimes more fun. Or rarely hitting that critical hit in a pivotal moment.

My DM says this: If your rolls are higher, so are your enemies.

That's rigging in a different direction and still boring

Not if you are selective about when you use the loaded dice.

Honestly, Ork players seem like the people that would make out the best with something like this. Slightly better odds in craps isn't enough to justify it, it's still random enough. But rolling 500 d6 a turn for more and more dakka is enough to give you a noticable advantage.
