I cannot figure out the ecash cashu UX. Shouldn't I be able to hold the ecash without redeeming it and incurring the redemption fee?

Yes the point of ecash is to use it as you would for lightning.
There is a NIP, NIP-61, that want to use ecash to zap nostr events for example.
You can easily attach ecash to any Nostr address as well.
The point of ecash is to be held and send across Nostr without redeeming it for a while
zapped this 3 sats using my 0xChat ecash balance. looks like it was automatically redeemed.
