ETherereum community will continue to hide under the radar of gas fees, they have dodge that question multiple times because of it sensitivity because they know that Ethereum chain can't scale without rewritting the code from beginning and doing that is just like abandoning the chain and starting a new one entirely, we have seen countless hardfork of in the past and there is no improvement and that makes me think that Ethereum cannot be scale without the interaction of sidechains as the layer 2 and this is why Ethereum has remain the same in development except for DEFI but seems to be more interesting on other chains.
Many investors keep mentioning that the problems with commissions did not disappear after the transition to PoS. But no one ever said that changing the consensus itself would fix the problem. The commission problem in the ETH network can be fixed by sharding and rollups.
The only thing that has changed since the consensus change is the level of centralization and censorship of transactions. The network has become much more censorable. In general, so far, except for promises, the ETH network does not show anything good, if we are talking about scalability and commissions.
