Awkward truth: A high-fee environment for #Bitcoin will be terrible for Bitcoin in the same way as a high-fee environment for anything else.
If you (inevitably, in Bitcoin's case) significantly raise your prices (transaction fees) without also offering significantly more value in return, users will flock to #Monero and other low-fee tools that already are way faster, way cheaper, and offer unparalleled privacy and sovereignty.
Will that persuade the maxis to change their minds?
Trick question. Nobody cares.
