I am not a crypto fan, but I believe this would constitute a 51% attack https://www.investopedia.com/terms/1/51-attack.asp

It's not. A 51% attack involves mining, not transactions.

This has nothing to do with a 51% attack. All this article seems to be stating is that someone with large amounts of bitcoin can raise the transaction fees by sending a lot of transactions, which isn't really a surprise since only a limited amount of transactions can fit in a block.
