You seem to be stuck in 2017/2018. Transaction fees have been extremely low for quite some time now. Even 1 sat/vbyte is enough to get a transaction confirmed quickly. The smallest possible opening transaction with change weights ~152 vbytes (
transaction;
channel). The cost of that transaction was only $0.07.
The cool thing is that not only does a transaction often just cost a few cents (single digits) when sent at 1 sat/vbyte; you can even open multiple channels in a single transaction. So you kinda pay once for two channels (however a bit more due to a larger transaction size).
