You're missing the forest for the trees. Transaction fees aren't important. In this case, it's the ability to raise funds for a project outside of an elite class of investors, and not have to wait 5-10 years for a liquidation event.

Transaction fees are pretty important when trying to do transactions, which is pretty much all bitcoin does.
