As a random user of ETH: I'm going to go to the PoS fork because of the (implied) fee difference. ~$50 for a wire is going to kill the chain (imho), and I don't see miners incentivized to handle that.

It's an interesting hope. I'm not sure that's going to fix anything.

Fees don't come from whether it's pow or pos, they come from volume and the need to prioritize transactions.
