Why can't the devs just make the transaction fees free unless you want want to prioritize speed and add like a 0.25% yearly inflation as the block reward post 21 million?
It seems it would make the bitcoin more spendable.  Huh Huh

Because it would turn in into fiat.
Dev don't make and don't charge fees.
Miners don't set fees.
Users are the ones that are setting the fees.

I SHOULD know more than anyone  Roll Eyes

Yeah the fees are there because after 21 million there would be nothing to incentivize miners. Hence why I'm saying kill the fees and trade it for VERY MINOR inflation to make it more spendable.

There is a little difference between what you should know and what you actually know.

Let's assume we drop the fees and allow 0 tx to spam the blockchain.
In a matter of minutes a spammer will turn the blockchain into a 1petabyte piece of...crap.
You want that?
