>programmatic public chains that are inexpensive to run

If you consider gas fees as a cost for running the chain, they absolutely are not inexpensive to run. They may well be the most expensive ledger on earth. Writing the numbers down on-per-page in a book made of gold leaf would probably be cheaper.

You're right that ethereum transaction fees are very high (https://cryptofees.info/). imo, total gas fees seem likely to continue to hyper-grow. Yet, per-transaction or per-user gas fees may be expected to plummet due to scaling technologies, especially https://arbitrum.io, https://optimism.io, and https://starknet.io (they do like those io's)

Maybe because everybody else like those .com's and none of them are left anymore...
