Because I'm not paying in btc.
Now, the obvious problem here is that I could just buy btc at market rates, instead of trying to "redeem" my dust this way.
It only makes sense when a person can not buy btc at market rates.
But there might be use cases here: bitcoin atms charge significantly higher than market rates. As do some sellers on bisq.
Maybe there is a world where people interested in buying non kyc bitcoin pay out of band fees to miners to redeem other people's dust outputs.

Okay sure, if you cannot buy coins at market rate, you can pay a premium to consolidate small value UTXOs.
I guess your point wasn't clear to me from the OP.

Yes, I need to add this as a point 4 to my original post. Something like:
  1. If you cannot buy btc at market rates, or if you don't want to buy it from other sellers available to you.
