While fees are measured in sats/vbyte, this whole thing arises because miners accept fiat for fees via their accelerator services (item 2 in the list above). I don't think it matters much what fees are measured in so much as whether miners are willing to accept fiat.
Or maybe I am misunderstanding you.
If a miner is willing to accept dollars for fees instead of btc, I can act like my btc is worth many more dollars than it actually is.
How does fees being priced in sats change this?
