If the fee to transfer Bitcoin is $20...

Use Lightning network. It’s virtually zero fee and lightning fast.
Still have to spend the $20+ to put cash on the lightning network, right?
Oh no...that's like...the cost of an ugly pleather wallet!
It means Bitcoin can't work for micropayments.
Self driving cars can't work because the roadway infrastructure improvements would cost too much, who'd pay for it?

Wait! Here comes Apple, with $90B!

You've missed an important aspect of Bitcoin. The community is polarized and won't agree to an upgrade.

Did a tx for $2.13 mining fee and it was confirmed in the next block, 14 mins, so will you just stop with this nonsense?

The transaction fees change over time depending on demand. Maybe you should stop with the unlikely edge case: network is underutilized.
