Why is USDT transfer fee so high?

I'm somewhat puzzled why the transfer fee for USDT is so high. Given its status as a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, I assumed the transactions would be more cost-effective. Is it due to the complexity of the underlying blockchain technology? Or is it because of the high demand for USDT transactions that justifies the higher fees? I'm just trying to understand the economics behind this decision. Could you please elaborate on the reasons for the higher transfer fees?

Why is Bitcoin transfer fee so high?

I'm somewhat puzzled by the seemingly exorbitant transfer fees associated with Bitcoin. Could you please explain why these fees are so high? I understand that Bitcoin is a decentralized network and that miners are compensated for their work in validating transactions, but isn't there a way to optimize the system to reduce these fees? Are there any alternative cryptocurrencies that offer lower transaction costs while maintaining the decentralization and security of the network? Thank you for your time and expertise.
