This is just how the world works. Bitcoin became a "Store of Value" Rather than a "Way of transacting" now. They have a choice to increase the block size for transactions to be faster, but they never did. Well, I guess you better find another coin if you want faster transactions.
i don't consider it going lower than that as it is just perfect except on days when there is congestion in the network and you want to be placed on priority list. Bitcoin transactions have certain price and the miners need their share so expecting for fees to be zero it's not realistic. Nothing comes completely for free and so it's the situation with Bitcoin, using it has some price.
