Absolutely not. Large Tron issuances started well before Ethereum gas fees soared. We are talking a couple of years ago.

Also, market makers moving Tether around do not give two shits about $60 in gas fees or whatever. Additionally, a huge amount of Tether has gone into DeFi on Ethereum and L2s (or bridged to newer L1s, which typically don't have a Tron bridge).

Ethereum was dominating TRON until very recently and this does have to do with huge increases in Gas prices on Ethereum

Sure, but go back two years, Tron had 50% of the Eth issuance which is insane given that even two years ago, Eth was domination Tron in every respect.
