I don't see Trump being treated fairly either, but if it's overt I think that ultimately helps him.

Biden crashing and burning to that extent probably is outside of Trump's hands anyway. Also I don't think Biden is that far gone that it comes to a scenario like that.
And I have a hard time imagining a last minute replacement would fare so much better. This person would face extreme scrutiny over what exactly legitimizes him/her to be the nominee in the first place; such a move probably would tear the party apart and antagonize a lot of voters that still opted for Biden in the primaries.
I think he's not far from that point. My father has dementia, he's much sharper than Biden but he'll forget something literally ten seconds after you tell him. I don't disagree that replacing him would be a major move and invite tons of scrutiny. I don't think it's even remotely out of the realm of possibility though.
