Well the miners definitely appreciate this. I'm going to assume that someone made a mistake while sending a transaction.
This has happened in the past, nothing new. It's easier to type 100 instead of 0.100 than you think.

I think the wallet app should warn for abnormal very large transaction fee or even don't allow it.
I think a warning would be more appropriate. Like a box asking you to confirm when the fee is very high.
Could this be a mistake? I can't think of many wallets that would actually confuse users into sending such a transaction. Could this actually be a generous individual?

Seems the problem was because of some error at BitGo's end. Here is more details from the victim...

Ethically AntPool may return the amount.

Probably they will be...

BitMain/AntPool and BitGo are in contact wrt resolving this erroneous transaction fee. BitGo's CTO personally contacted me and has assured the loss will be recovered. A rep for BitMain has also expressed confidence that the excess fee will be returned.
