Bitcoin wallet users, have you ever?

I don't disagree with you on some points, and it is more complicated to use compared to traditional fiat methods. Using PGP apps and verifying signatures isn't rocket science, and we shouldn't make it look like it is. You learn it after a 2 min video and then you know it.

I had no need to verify the digital signatures of anything either before I got into bitcoin. Now I know it and my life isn't any more difficult because I use a new piece of software and click a few buttons every couple of months. Basic IT literacy won't do you any harm in the 21st century, and it's expected that you know some things or know how to find the information you need.

1. Is there any way to generate bitcoin address offline without internet help?

Of course it can be done even without internet, I have done it several times with my friend. Then here in my local community there is a convenience store where you can buy Bitcoin and other merchants here as well.

2. Since Bitcoin launched is there any wallet that supports automatic Bitcoin gas fee editing right from your android or IOS machine?

What I know is that in Electrum, you can adjust the gas fee if you want it fast, just increase the fee or reduce it if you want cheap.

3. Do high gas fees mean faster bitcoin wallet transfers?

Yes

Electrum in android apps seems to have a high-risk level, right?

Some features of the desktop version of electrum aren't available on the android version, but that doesn't mean the android version of electrum isn't secure enough.
If you use electrum on android, the security of your fund depends on the security of your device. Electrum itself is secure and if it used properly, there is no risk.
Take note that any online device is prone to hacking.

Agreed, this is the exact answer in terms of using electrum. Your clarification in Electrum explaining that it is not Electrum itself that has the problem but rather the use of the wrong one that opens the way for hackers is dangerous because the device is open to risks.

     Because of that, if the application of Electrum itself is dangerous on a mobile device, we probably shouldn't see it on the android phone to download it, but that's not the case, instead, it can be downloaded on our phone devices anytime.

This is a misconception that Electrum on Andrion is vulnerable. Having fewer features on a Android version does not make it risky. You can download and use Electrum on your Android phone with full confidence. However, the desktop version of Electrum has not only more features but it is more user friendly and easy to use.

If you are familiar with the desktop Electrum version, you may not be comfortable with the Android version. Personally, I have installed Electrum in my phone but never used it only because I do not like its interface.

About the security of a Bitcoin wallet on android also depends on how the user is.
Nothing will be safe even a desktop electrum wallet if the user is not concerned about the security of their device and is not aware of some malware that will enter from various loopholes generated by the user.

If you are familiar with the desktop Electrum version, you may not be comfortable with the Android version. Personally, I have installed Electrum in my phone but never used it only because I do not like its interface.

Regarding the features of the Electrum wallet on Android, currently the android electrum wallet is also getting more features and a full overhaul of the user interface makes the Android electrum wallet more comfortable to use and more responsive.

The interface used to look more rigid, but for the Electrum 4.4.0 update version, it gives a new feel and a more dynamic look.
Very different from the previous appearance.
