Entropy? In the end everything turns to dust.
Can someone explain to me what is going on here?

Noticed this massive transaction with only one input and 500 outputs of 500 sats each. Yes, 500 new UTXOs and ONLY 500 sats in each of them, so they are all dust.
Moreover, the total of these outputs was only 250k sats, but the fee paid was 7.2m sats!!
Is this some BRC20 nonsense, or something?

Yes, but what you are talking about is organic, as a result of people who don't know better failing to manage their UTXOs. The above constitutes the intentional acceleration of this process via bloating the UTXO set with thousands and thousands of dust UTXOs a day, because they have JPEGs or shitcoin tokens attached to them.
