Future gas costs

The way ethereum is getting massive adoption gas will not that far into the future become unpayable for the commoner. I know L2 is inc yada yada but let's be honest most of those solutions are still terrible. Paying more then a few cents for each transaction for a digital coin is retarded. Imagine having to pay 200$ everytime you withdrew money or even 5-15$. You would be upset and rightly so.

Are we 100% certain the community/core team is doing everything in it means to address this issue as it's by far the most prevalent one to fix. Just wondering as I will not be interacting with eth soon as it will be impossible to exit once the time comes..
