Have you had a look at gas prices recently? A transfer costs between 1$ and 2$ depending on the time of the day. It's still much higher than it should be, and let's hope that will change soon with the merge and L2 adoption, but that's not what I would call stupidly high costs to move the ETH.

A single transfer for ETH maybe but that's also in part because ETH price is low. If you want to move erc20s it costs significantly more And if your portfolio includes many projects it is unseemly. Also a lot of exchanges or at least the biggest one - Binance - have higher withdraw fees in part because they must make multiple transactions to send your money out.
I hadn't checked recently. If they're that low then I'm going to pull the coins out now.
