What good is a phone call if you are unable to speak? What good is a Bitcoin if you are unable to spend it?

Median fee around 10-15 USD for the last couple blocks. Good luck buying your five dollar coffee.

Is this not the use case of lightning? Should merchants be evangelized with lightning-only? Does coinOS support lightning?

I suppose this is what lightning attempts to solve, yes. I don't know enough about lightning other than that it's an off-chain "layer 2" attempt at solving scalability. It doesn't sound like the best path to me but maybe it will be OK eventually. I don't know about coinOS.
