is there any other way for me to get the amount of eth (0.0014) that i only need without having to buy the minimum amount for swap? I hope my question is understood properly.
Exodus wallet is using other third party centralized exchange partners for making swaps, so you need to pay fees for that plus transaction fees on etheruem chain.
But you can't send usdt or any other tokens on ethereum chain if you don't have base eth coin in your wallet for transaction fees, that applies for all wallets, not just Exodus.
