But it's NBC's judgment to reward Trump for ducking the debate and to position it directly opposing Joe Biden's appearance that IMO is unforgivable.

Secondly, Trump won't just be on NBC: He'll be on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC YouTube and NBC's Telemundo channel, whereas Joe will only be on ABC. So when it comes to ratings (nowadays including viewings), Trump has a fivefold advantage not afforded Joe Biden.
