If you want to spend $100 on something and you have 10K in your wallet doesn't mean we should pay $26 for transferring $100 or at least in my opinion, I wouldn't do that mistake because we have alternatives to do it for cents.
Well, some people prefer the security and reliability of Bitcoin for payments. Even if that comes at a cost of higher fees and slower confirmation times. Altcoins are faster and cheaper to use, but are often centralized and unreliable. Bitcoin's Lightning Network promises to fix this. But so far, it has failed to attract the masses. I think this has to do with a lack of user experience and flawed/buggy design.
At least, Bitcoin works well as a store of value. With "Wall Street" getting in the game, don't expect this to change anytime soon. Hopefully, fees will be much lower by the next block reward halving.
