Of course it's it's always within a range as you've already establish at OP
Like when 50 sat/vbyte is the minimum there were people including 6000 sat/vbyte. Or when 2 sat/vbyte would be enough like 30% of the people were setting there fees at 60 sat/vbyte.
But then, I won't call it ridiculously high because, it's based on the users besides, some wallets like the ELECTRUM WALLET do well to inform or warn you when the fee is abnormally high so, if you still go for it, it's up to you.
For some, they may not understand the volume as to how many vbyte their transactions would be occupying and as such, would just proceed anyway while others, they might know but, still don't seem to care. This could be due to how urgent they want the transaction to be confirmed or perhaps, the fee is just too small to their person.
