Big node that's had lots of anchor channels closed over a period of time. When you close an anchor channel, it creates a separate transaction that's above the dust limit that can be used to bump the fee for the channel closure.
A personal node my accrue a half dozen of them and won't cause any issues.
A large LSP like lnbig gets thousands of them so they need to be consolidated into a single large transaction so the Bitcoin can be more easily, and less fees, to open new channels.
