Well, your opinion is correct. The issue of transaction fees has affected ETH, but it is still a reputable and good coin today. It's second only to bitcoin, although BCS is very well developed, I don't think it would be a better option than Ethereum.
Ethereum is still chosen by many people to invest anyway. I'm one of them, too.
The problem of transaction fees that exist on the Ethereum network is not a big problem for Ethereum so it has only a slight impact, because I myself was also surprised when Ethereum was able to rise in the market at a time when some people had left it because of fees and chose another for a cheaper fee.
