Ok to pay more ,confirmed faster.
But isn’t it ok for pay less confirm slower?
It's as exactly as you've said, pay high and get confirmed quicker and pay lower and get delay in confirmation time, but it all doesn't end here, either of the part you choose has a remedy as well, you can choose to pump your fee, make adjustments, or use mining pool to accelerate your transaction.
The miners are too centralized,and a lot of dust trans was made every day.
I think in life everything has time and season, maybe this could just be their own peak time, they have to enjoy it while it last.
