Which is also why it's critical that 2nd layer infrastructure becomes established by then to keep transmitting BTC affordable.
affordability of transacting bitcoin on any other layers still depends on the main chain fees because the coins have to move from main chain to the other layer first and then be settled on chain again. so there are two transactions in the process and 2 fees involved.
Of course! But if those 2 fees then cover, say, 20 or 200 instead of just 2 transactions it will be much easier to reach a balance between the interests of miners (ie. high fees per block) and users (ie. low fees per transaction).
