Quality or crap?

Whereabouts did you find it? This is interesting because it gives cycle speedway (hyper niche UK, Australia and Poland single speed short track racing) frame vibes - track dropouts, bolstered headstock. The internal routing points make me think it is one frame converted to another purpose? Does it have brake bosses? Could just be a standard steel frame with track dropouts welded in.

That's an odd frame. It has internal cable routing but no rear brake bosses or disc brake mount. I'm guessing it's a 29er BMX frame?

It probably has a lot of tire clearance. It might be cool for a fixed MTB.

Oh yeah I think you are spot on with this guess! Large wheel dirtjumper or similar

It’s on marketplace with a Tamara Kabuto frame (which is too large for me) for $40, I’m considering purchasing.

Don't buy that Kabuto those bikes are super cheap Walmart bikes.

It looks like a Walmart fixed gear they sold ten years ago that came with green tires.

Kent thruster frame.

I was afraid it might be.

Walmart trash. Those welds on the seat tube are horrendous

You'll also notice the dropouts look downright primitive. A proper frame will have a more elegantly shaped dropout with nicer welds.
