I agree that bitcoin payment services will need fees too, and the more congested the networks are the higher the fees will have to be.
I do think that the openness of the bitcoin and lightning networks will make the landscape more competitive than traditional banking, which should lead to lower fees in the equilibrium.

Appreciate real world story like this!
The old finance system has crazy fees feeding all these middleman. To pay with a credit card, you pay the payment processor, the bank, the card issuer, and many others. Each provides some piece of the puzzle and in reality a system that provides that level of service rebuilt on Bitcoin won’t be that much cheaper. For instance, look at LN liquidity. Nobody is gonna provide that for free.
