I think it's pretty easy to see that each transaction costing a few bucks (or tens of bucks at it's peak) is a huge issue if you want more adoption.

Gas prices (determine costs of transactions) haven’t been too high lately, though there can still be spikes when transaction volume surges. Gas prices will become less sensitive to such surges once the mainnet is sharded (plus L2s) because the chain will be able to handle a much higher max volume of transactions at any given time.
