In the last 24 hours, 100 people died in car crashes - but 2 crashes a year apart and its "why does this keep happening". I realize the numbers are not comparable - however, 100 people dying a day is seen as act of God, but 100% driver-less society and getting 1 person dying a week will get these cars banned probably.
I agree BTC is unusable as a currency due to high fees - however, Bitcoin Cash has low fees and because it is dedicated to on-chain scaling, it will continue having low fees as demand for blockspace increases.
