If there's no way the miners in the pool gets compensation for this, miner will leave that pool making such blocks less likely to happen.
If they do get paid for it, in a transparent way, more miners will join such pools and it will be a form of income.
Not sure where it goes from there. It might boost Lightning which isn't a bad thing. It might polute the mempool for years which isn't great.
Personally I think this will blow over and the mempool will be empty again.
they paid 2BTC to do this. i don't know if the proceeds were given to miners or not or if the pool pocketed it.

Once you introduce a second use case the biggest risk is that it becomes the primary use case.
Who paid 2BTC?
