Solana is cheaper and easier to use like I posted the other day.  Now that bitcoin has hit its high and retail is getting back into Crypto, they will use something like Solana which is cheaper/easier to use.  I wouldn't overthink it, brother.  I can tell you gas fees on Ethereum have made the network unusable the past few days.  Ethereum will have a network upgrade soon which is supposed to fix this but it still involves Layer 2's (Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.).  It's still hard for the average user to use.
