Despite numerous daily dust or sometimes a few thousand sats dumped to the legacy address of the Genesis block, today some entity transfered a whopping 2.6236284
BTC as "donation" to address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, or whatever the intention was for such an amount.

I don't get it why people do this, be it countless small and the few huge amounts of recent time. The "countless" small dust coins bloat the UTXO set, the larger or huge transfers are what exactly? A show off of the filthy rich? I don't know... what's your opinion?
There's no explanation for such decisions other than the personal desires of the coin owner. There may be those who enjoy seeing the transfer address on BlockGenesis or those who want to thank Satoshi. Often, we're unable to explain everything according to our own logic, so our minds are surprised by things they're not used to thinking about, or things we once thought were unthinkable or pointless.
I agree with the post above, which indicated that there's no reason to be surprised by such news because sending dust to BlockGenesis is a million times better than spending it on wars and killing. At the same time, I don't deny that I hope we'll one day get to know these donators and let them offer us their perspective. In any case, whatever their reasons and motives, they are legitimate, and no one has the right to oppose or criticize them in any way that offends their owner.
