I think people that complain it's because if you withdraw $50 you get like $5-10 cut from all exchanges and transactions, so you end up with $40.

That's got almost nothing to do with the transaction fee of the bitcoin network, and is entirely down to the withdrawal fee set by exchanges. Many exchanges set frankly ridiculous withdrawal fees, not just for bitcoin, but for altcoins as well. Binance and Kraken, for example, currently charge 0.0005 BTC per withdrawal, which is, as you say, around $5. Considering a 1-input-2-output transaction, even at recent peak fees of 200 sats/byte, they are still making a profit on withdrawals. The profit becomes even bigger when you consider they batch their withdrawals to save massively.

If you don't like paying that for withdrawals, then you need to either find a better exchange or trade peer-to-peer.
