No, they shouldn't. Global and macro daily goods trend to zero. Plenty of individual charges, fees, and truly scarce assets can go up in price. That's the markets at work.

No, because fees are the cost of block space. And block space is limited, which is what ensures bitcoin's decentralisation. That's why you see shitcoins with near 0 fees, because they're not secure or decentralised.
