I believe that stating that Bitcoin will be used as a currency, and that the current high fee problem is temporary (if nothing changes), is merely wishful thinking. What I observe (though I may be mistaken) is that the fees have decreased because usage has temporarily decreased.

Bitcoin's value may persist and even increase because it is perceived as an artifact.

In the dev mailing list, I did read that some were suggesting the removal of the feature that enables ordinals or even banning them entirely (!!).

We have no control over these matters; things may change, but I don't see any changes that would enable Bitcoin to be used as it was originally intended.
