I dont really think that its the case anymore. You see, using almost any modern wallet nowadays we can adjust fees according to the urgency of our transactions, and I do transact small amounts, but the fees isnt anything too high for me, after customizing it in my Electrum wallet. Transactions are also fast enough, and after the implementation of the Lightning network, it is said that all these problems are going to be solved.

Bitcoin is a growing technology still, developing and changing, its dynamic and changing, evolving. There are gonna be flaws, but they are being fized, and new measures are being implemented as we speak. Just have the patience to wait for it.
