If you want lower fees then use segwit and tell others to use it also.
Segwit does not solve the fee problem. This is simply mis information. A reduction in fees of 30-40% is not material.
To rephrase your statement: "Reduction of fees does not solve the fee problem."
The levels of fees have utterly destroyed large parts of the bitcoin economy, and segwit does not change that. Cutting fees to 1/10 of current levels does not change this.
Fees would have to go to 1/100 - 1/1000 of current levels for the old bitcoin economy to arise again.
Segwit DOES cause fee reduction in the long run: because segwit transactions are smaller, more of them can fit in a block.
To better illustrate the point, assume that all transactions in the block are segwit transactions with 1 input and 1 output.
There will be ~12,195 transactions that can be contained in that block, compared to ~5,208 non segwit transactions of the same type
I'm talking buying beers, pizzas, tipping on line, Starbucks gift cards, etc.
You forgot to add coffee...
