Lightning network is made due to this especially if you only want to send a smaller amount. Also using native segwit address or bech32, to have a lesser fee in every transfer.
It is true. I agree that the lightning network is the reason for sending bitcoins of little value. If we want to pay for a cup of coffee for $ 5 using bitcoin, it is recommended to use a lightning network because the fees are very low, and transfers to other addresses are also very fast.
