1: having expensive btc transaction fees makes me stronger to hold on to btc because I don't want to waste my money on expensive transaction fees.
It is passively holding your bitcoins, not proactively. You are forced to hold your bitcoins because you don't want to waste too many satoshis for transaction fees. If you don't proactively do holding it, you will return to not holding it when mempools are clearer and network has cheaper transaction fees.when TX fees are this high you hinder and restrict people who want to spend BTC like a currency that it is, and restricting people from using BTC as a currency is a very big problem. BTC is not only an investment option, and your post makes it feel as if it is only good for that.
Different people will consider Bitcoin differently.It can be very valuable with you but valueless with others. You can consider it as a payment method but with others, they don't. You can just use Bitcoin for trading but with others they do neither like Bitcoin for trading or investment.
Bitcoin can be an asset of value storage for you but it is nothing with others. People who used very crazy fee rates for BRC20 tokens, Ordinals have their reasons to do so and you can not stop them. They will stop when they realize something like Ordinals, BRC20 tokens are useless, no value at all.
