Yes it's interesting to see tx like this.
Typically someone who have a lot of change addresses / faucet addresses and try to move the coins around will result in such transactions.

It's like paying some guy in one go, with all the pennies and nickels that you can find.

But i think it's kind of a big leak to privacy and anonymity, because using these changes will let others know that all these addresses belong to the same entity.
And there are tools out there specifically for the prying eyes to analysis, trying to find out the real world identities inside bitcoin network.

How many outputs did you expect?

It's not the output that was confusing me, but the numerous inputs. But the transferring the entire balance of a wallet makes sense (also makes sense why there's no change address).

You can generate or add as much addresses as you want to a wallet and then you can send funds in those addresses to a single address, that's what you see in that transaction.

Easy.

Receive multiple payments to your wallet. Send your wallet balance to an address. Done.

There's multiple inputs but only one output.
