Not by nature, I believe.
HFT acts on already executed trades. Sandwich attacks (and other MEV trades) acts in the liminal time between a transaction is broadcast and before its confirmed.

The best tradfi analogy is pulling liquidity after a market order is placed in order for the MM to create a larger spread
Am excited that you are looking into MEV - you’ll be interested by the concepts of economic fairness and time philosophy that come with it
