I don't think it's a fair comparison. monero (and almost every other modern cryptocurrency) has reasonable fees due to its dynamic blocksize. Additionally, the tokenomics of monero are somewhat inflationary as of last month, they've activated a constant block reward. The development of BTC as a payment system are very complicated. There was a long period from 2017 where you've had two competing mechanisms for low-fee payments: BCH (Bitcoin Cash, fork to increase blocksize), and BTC-LN (Bitcoin Lightning network, gossip network of multisig accounts). This really fragmented the userbase and slowed down BTC's adoption as a payment system. I'm not saying comparisons to BTC are meaningless, I'm just saying that BTC is a bad example of a "typical cryptocurrency".
