The title is applicable to small transactions and not the big fish category (ex. 1000k, 10k or more)
I have observed many times whenever there is rise in the price it will proportionally increase the fees as well. BTC becomes useless if I want transfer my coffee bill worth $5 or lets say lunch of $50 bucks if I have to pay more than 10-15 USD for single transaction.
Bitcoin was unfit for buying coffee years ago. In 2017 you wouldn't be able to do it without losing money. It was the same ever since. Your problem is exchanging bitcoin to usd prices. You're using bitcoin but thinking USD instead of pricing items in BTC. If I am to buy a car for 1 BTC and I have to pay 0.0001 to do it, I'm completely fine with that.
Your rant is pretty much what people in 2014 were saying when it was already too expensive to buy a pack of smokes or a coffee for Bitcoin. Later it became too expensive to buy pizza or any restaurant meal. This is how things progress and we have to accept it.
