It makes sense as you're giving up a queen and bishop for a queen and rook, and that's winning material, I don't see anything "unnatural" about it

Capturing the rook on f1 is the only way for black to win a piece. Moving the queen anywhere will result in a devastating loss for black. I hope this explains it.

It doesn't have a discovered attack tag. But that is the point of the tactic.

We sacrifice our queen to attract the opponent's king onto a square where there's a discovered attack on the opponent's queen.
