I assume that's for the entire block. Recent blocks hover somewhere between 1000 and 2000 transactions per 10-minute block, which gives a modest 2.5 USD fee per transaction.

By what measure is a 2.5USD fee modest?

2.5USD is not very competitive with the old guard unless you are moving more than $100.

I had to pay $20 to sweep some old wallets(circa 2011). In my case it was worth it, but there is so much dust out there which is not worth collecting any more.

People used to tip using BTC.. those days are gone.
