I think the solution is to switch to an alternative coin or a token, because the average person doesn’t know about lightning network, sending transactions with 0 fees and other ways to reduce network fees or increase speed.
The average person can learn about those features then, it doesn't take too much to do a quick research on how to avoid paying higher fees.
Also, cryptocurrency is not something you use simply did the sake of it, Bitcoin has a number of qualities which overides the perceived ease if transaction in some altcoins, bitcoiners use it because of the freedom it offers, it's not simply a case of go to the one which offers faster transaction time.
What is the point in hoping Bitcoin will be able to scale one day when you already got coins and tokens that have already solved the problem of scalability?
Except you're a trader or a merchant you would not be too bothered by transaction fees, there are way you can use to reduce them and some proposals are also in the implementation stage.
