Well, I 100% respect your opinion. But, there is so much more to Bitcoin than just the fee. If you truly understand and believe in the philosophy of Bitcoin, you won't be talking about tx fee, because it's one of the least of all things about bitcoin.
If I may guess, you sounded like someone with a lot of financial privileges or one of those altcoiners. Maybe Bitcoin is not for you. I suggest you go on adventure to Africa, Nigeria to be precise. When you do, you'll never want to talk about tx fee anymore. I adopted Bitcoin simply because it's the hope that we have to change the course of history for good. Bitcoin is for survivors. People who understand reasons for the existence of Bitcoin don't talk about tx fee or anonymity. (In bitcoin, privacy is not secrecy).
And, if not for the "greedy people", bitcoin would have been a lost case by now.
I don't think Bitcoin is in "jeopardy of becoming obsolete." Simply put, Bitcoin is not crypto!
