Why should miners include transactions when no one is paying meaningful fees? Why should miners carry users indefinitely? Bitcoin had more transactions and fees-in-reward back in 2012 (3 years in) than what BCH has today. You cannot rely on coin issuance and a hope of price appreciation to pay for security. Fees need to pay for some of (and eventually all) the security.

ASICs are inevitable and a good thing. ASIC-resistance is nonsense. GPU-mining does not favour the small player. Did you try buying a GPU back in 2017? They were non-existent. People chartered Boeing 747s to fly around the world to scoop up GPUs. Anyone close to the supply chain has the advantage.
