Gas price question

I’m somewhat new to crypto but wanted to ask a few questions. I thought the entire reason was for decentralization and lower fees. I understand you can make some money investing but what is the deal with the fees? How are people ok with this? This is so so much worse than using fiat. Everyone hates on RH but zero fees. I’m stuck in Crypto.com right now because the fees are so bad I can’t move any of my money to the wallet to protect it. They are highway robbery anyway but is there any plan to fix this insane fee problem. It makes me never want to use crypto ever again especially for purchases and real world application. If I’m moving thousands or tens of thousands I don’t mind paying a fee but how is it ok to pay 40-80 dollars to move 150. This is just stupid. Can someone explain to me what I’m missing? I really really want to learn more and love this because it could be great but all my common sense says run far away.

Edit: Will this change when they move to staking?
