Hasn't this network congestion been there all these while? Or is it now that we're having a higher price of Bitcoin that's when it seems like is having effect on all transactions?

This is the first time, because there has never been another entity that "interferes" with the network like ordinals. Look at the transaction traffic chart throughout history, how do you see the big spike recently compared to the 2021's ATH session?: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactions.html#alltime
As I said before there is no direct correlation that high prices must result in high fee rates (in sats units). Network congestion can occur even if bitcoin is worth $1.

If this is the first time is happening don't you think it will become a nom like it has come to stay and we might even be having a time to expect it to happen just like we're expecting the halving.
This issue is never a thing we say it will go, we need something more helpful to let us know that this is when it will end and will never happen again, because as it is I don't see anything tats stopping it from continuing.
So if BTC reaches $100k the fee will be half of what you're sending if care is not taken, is really disturbing honestly.
