Even if we assumed your assumption was correct:
Let's assume an average $12 fee now (probably will drop back to lower levels)
$200 - $12 = $188
If we assume your thesis that fees will increase at the same pace as the savings:
$20,000 - $1200 = $18,800
Yeah, I'd rather have $18,800 stored safely on the base layer, vs storing that amount on L2.
Now less than a week later the average fee is around $4 - $5 per tx.
In the above example with a 100x increase in both exchange rate and transactions:
$20,000 - $450 = 19,550.
Just had a look at the mempool today and the average tx fee is $1.61.
