I'd personally much rather pay higher fees when there is a high network volume than constantly paying fees for the privilege of using an ATM, or servicing my online account, or processing a wire transfer, or reissuing me a debit card or checkbook, etc. For merchants, fees are outrageous indefinitely.

Your personal preferences don't enter into it. The fact of the matter is that bitcoin transaction fees will always be high.

The first of your references is from a cryptocoin hype site, and the second one says that "12%" of millenials would put a substantial amount of a windfall into crypto, which strikes me as not being "largely prefer".
