This is a good thing to keep developers from leaving ETH, swap fees that can go up to $50 is crazy, but now swap costs are around $8, although still expensive but this is more reasonable so we can trade on ETH again, and I hope gas costs may keep going down because a few days ago I sent tokens which cost around $4.
ETH will remain the ideal choice of developers despite high gas fees. The majority of potential projects will choose the ETH network because it is safer and more secure than other networks. High gas cost is just a pain for retail traders like us, it is not a barrier for whale, shark investors. they won't care about the fees, they will care about their safety.
Exactly what you say because they are more important security than having to accept the risk of losing what else with a large amount of money.
And until whenever the ETH network remains number one, even though now there is a BSC network, it is widely used by us people who have minimal capital.
