I don't believe the current fee rates are an attack. It just made me wonder if fees are a possible attack vector on the usability of the network.
I may have chosen DDOS as a poor wording, but to my layman eyes it still seems like a similar concept. Flood the mempool with intentionally bloated and expensive transactions with the ill-intent to disrupt actual users from transacting (unless willing to outbid).
