The high gas fees was supposed to be fixed with Eth 2.0, but eth devs have failed to deliver it this year and now we have to wait for maybe another year to get low gas fees on ETH which imo is a downside for them, I think the best way to for crypto adoption to go a-wire is when there's low gas fees on that chain plus it's UI friendly good enough for the average Joe to understand how to use it, Near Protocol offers all these, starting from low gas fees which cost just ~$0.01 per transaction and user friendly interface that an average Joe can understand easily e.g their Web wallet wallet.near.org, eth gas fees have become unbearable for the middle class people so personally have stopped using eth and switched over to Near Protocol, if you can't pay eth gas fees, then stop using eth assets  .
