I think this is a very good effort for etherem, because this is what crypto users who use the erc20 network expect, and this is a great opportunity to make pending transactions, with this reduction in gas costs, I believe etherem will become higher quality and more popular,
I don't see this one as a good reason to become more popular because ETH is already on top so there's no need for that. The main concern here is the fees and its finally good to see the lower fees again, you might want to do your transactions now because I see this one as temporary because when the market rise again, you can expect the gas fees increases as well, this has been the problem since then.
I agree that the decrease in gas fees will not make Ethereum more popular, considering that Ethereum is already popular and even comparable
to Bitcoin. However, this reduction in gas fees has been taken advantage of by several ERC20 token owners who have delayed transactions
because they were very high before. It is true that this decrease in gas fees did occur because the crypto market was experiencing a decline,
but once the crypto market recovers and the price of Ethereum goes up again, Ethereum gas fees will definitely get expensive again.
