It simply does not make sense to stop providing miners with the incentive that drove them to mine in the first place and would push them to discontinue mining. Bitcoin core can't willingly shift to another proofing algorithm amidst everything else but then again, it has been providing updates and I'm sure this issue will be addressed too.

Quitting on the first ever cryptocurrency which has grown over 1500% this year alone over the fees problem would be plain stupidity with what is to come in the near future.
