The sender needs to sign with their private key, but in this case it was Binance.

The best part is it’s essentially a burn address, since this address can never be spent from. People have sent tips to it over the years like a wishing well.

False.

The address can be spent from by whomever has a corresponding private key.

Checksum for the address checks out from RIPEMD160 result so good chance a private key leads to it

Unless Satoshi was a 3-letter agency, there is no chance in my mind that the key was saved.

Agrees. On a long enough timeline though, that key can be discovered.
