Kraken charging 40,000 sats for an on chain withdrawal

How are Kraken users dealing with the fact that the platform is currently charging 40,000 sats to make an on chain withdrawal?

~70sat/vbyte transactions are regularly being confirmed by miners, meaning a simple on chain withdrawal should cost ~£4. Kraken are charging customers ~£14. This doesn't take in to account the economies of scale they benefit from, by way of transaction batching...

Clearly they want to ensure customers a speedy withdrawal experience, however 3x the required fee seems excessive, and ultimately, unnecessary.

I heard from a Coinbase user that a recent withdrawal came in at a total cost of 25,000 sats. Almost half of what Kraken are charging.

Is it time for Kraken to consider a dynamic withdawal fee implementation? Or are high fees part of the business model?
How are other users of the platform handling this situation?
