That doesn’t happen with BCH because they haven’t saturated their blocks. That doesn’t mean it’s a better approach.

I can decide to spend all my retirement savings over the next two years and, for a while, it would be quite nice. Should I then ask why anyone even bothers to save?

Why do you think the BCH blocks aren't filling up?

Maybe it has something to do with the increased block size?

Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum both exceed bitcoin's transaction throughput now. Ethereum has around 3x the transaction throughput.
