Why do all the alt coins that now exist have more than 21 million coins , or will when the subsidy finishes ?

Why not bring out an alt coin that has less than 1 million coins as its total ?

Would fees be lower overall since they would be a larger percentage of coins in existence ?

That was an idea i had a while ago and told that on the trollbox. To have an alt coin that would be the "goldbars" of bitcoin

Thou after some discussion there i understood that such thing is not viable as most altcoins.

The fees would be lower numbers, but not a lower %.

Why not just one coin? Divided over 1 million billion cents. This whole thing is pretty much irrelevant, but then again, most altcoins are anyway.

Are they irrelevant?

Which ones?
All bitcoin straight forks are irrelevant. Bitcoin is still very far away from mainstream, and the alt coin section is even lower. You see sites like Namecheap and Reddit accepting bitcoin, but not litecoin or another flavor of the day.
