Why are you so surprised? Is low fees a thing to worry about?
No. I'm not worried. It just strikes me as unusual.

Check both @DarthCoin and @grayruby's replies. Together I think they explain the situation very well.
It seems to me.... it was all the ordinals and nft hype that has considerably subsided. The halving (halvening?) saw the highest fees ever... now they're sub-5. I think a takeaway from this is it's important to give the free market time and space to sort out 'what's important'.
Although growing, the demand for monetary transactions (sending/receiving/paying) isn't there yet... with the exception of Nostr/SN. And that's a lightning thing and still relatively novel. Just imo
