The only reason this transaction is even an issue is because no one knows what made him pay that fee. The sender may found himself in a situation where it was impossible to wait for lower fee. As long as it’s not a $5 wrench which forced him to make such fast transaction, no one should be worried about it.

It feels like an exchange collecting deposited coins, the destination address seems to be getting a lot of 0.8 trsanctions

I was tempted to think it was some mixing activity but there is a lot of address reuse in those.

Here is my exchange collecting some of my coins

although a bit cheaper, at just $1.2k.

Some businesses are forced to pay those fees, you can't wait till the weekend when you have withdrawals pending for days and no money in cold addresses, you have to collect from hundreds and hundreds of deposit addresses. Waiting till the mempool is empty is like waiting to go out of business.
