In any case, this news article mentions the cause of the high fees. If there is profit in these activities, I speculate this might begin the transformation of bitcoin into something similar to Ethereum.

Ordinals notched a new record on Saturday as the protocol used for inscribing digital assets on Bitcoin—producing assets comparable to Ethereum-based NFTs—had its busiest day yet.
In April alone, the daily record for inscriptions made was shattered four other times. That included roughly 72,000 inscriptions on April 2 and 193,000 inscriptions on April 23, according to the Dune dashboard.

That's the problem. Constant NFT inscriptions will eventually clog up the BTC blockchain to a point where TX fees will become highly-expensive. This will force us to use an off-chain scaling solution such as the LN for day-to-day payments. BTC was never meant to be used as a "multi-purpose" Blockchain. For that, we have smart contract platforms such as ETH, ADA, BNB, and so on. Leaving Bitcoin solely for finance is best to prevent network congestion or adding security risks to the same.
I guess Bitcoin Core developers are going to need to work on another upgrade to help alleviate high TX fees for a while. Either that, or nodes/miners stop accepting transactions related to Ordinals inscriptions for good. Let's see how everything will turn out to be in the long run, as Ordinals rises on popularity. Just my thoughts
