Plebs must consolidate UTXOs over time to ensure they don't become so small in value that they are effecritively unspendable as the average fee goes up with demand.

In this way, #Bitcoin is not actually free to hold: there is maintenance "fees" and a manual cognitive cost to users for ensuring most their value remains spendable.

I don't understand your rationale. If hyperbitcoinization occurred now, and 1 sat = 1 USD, fees in sats would actually be much lower, not higher. So smaller UTXOs would become more spendable.

I don't think this is a safe assumption. No reason fees couldn't be higher in BTC terms with higher adoption reaching hyperbitcoinization.
