For some players it does. He dont want to bet into two opponents with just a gutshot and an overcard, because for starters he dont want to get raised and be forced to fold. But he also dont want to give up his hand, so he makes a somewhat loose overcall out of position. No information was given about stakes, but most people, who post hands here, play in the micros. So this Villain is probably not a poker superstar.

Then when he turn the nuts, he simply bets out, maybe not even considering, if a check-raise would give him more value. This is part of the whole reason, why its called a donk bet. Donk = bad player. He might also bet large, because there are two flushdraws on board, and he dont want to get called by a flushdraw and put in a bad spot on the river. I think, some people tend to view a donk bet almost like a personal insult. But its not against any rules of poker, and its just like facing any other kind of aggression. We need to get inside our opponents head and put him on range, which HE might play this way, even though maybe we would not.
