You're sidestepping the point: why would anyone pay for transparent, surveillable settlement in a post-Samourai world? That’s not a fee market, it’s a self-doxing market.
As for your claim: Monero's tail emission guarantees a non-zero reward — Bitcoin hopes rising fees will fill the gap. That’s not “the same challenge.” That's a false equivalence. One has a floor. The other has a "...?"
And no one called it magic..just honest, predictable, and sustainable, unlike banking literally everything on user generosity and government-friendly transparency.
