This isn’t completely true. There are 2 types of gas fees - the first is the type you are discussing. The 2nd is the inherent fee of executing the smart contract. $100MM of the fees went to contract execution, over half of which could have been avoided with a more efficiently coded smart contract.

If this is the type of discussion you'd like to have, one could argue that they could've launched their NFTs on layer-2 systems like Loopring/Immutable and avoided all of these fees.
